I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to address your concerns. I have supported people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression and concerns around work and relationships. Together we will identify your goals for the sessions and work towards supporting you with coping tools and psychoeducation. I understand that sometimes it can take time to feel comfortable in therapy and this process may be new to some folks, so we move at a pace that is supportive for you.
I work from an anti-oppressive, strengths-based and trauma-informed lens. I use a multi modal approach which includes EMDR, Polyvagal Therapy, Somatic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness. I also use movement therapy in my practice, through yoga. I am a Trauma-Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator (TCTSY-F).
If this feels like it may be a fit, I would love to connect through a 15min free consultations where you can ask any questions and learn more about how I work with folks. To book a consult you can send me an email and I will connect around some potential dates. If you call the number provided, you will be connected to the admin team at the clinic I work at.

I work with folks who have experienced trauma related to a range of situations and experiences. During our sessions we will typically explore some resourcing tools before moving to support you with navigating the trauma. Based on the approach that feels the most supportive for you we could explore EMDR, somatic work, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, or a mixture of these approaches.
