Somatic Therapists in Ontario
My work integrates somatic therapy and nervous system awareness to support deeper emotional healing, self- understanding, and connect with themselves in a deeper, more embodied way.
You may look capable and high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling lost, emotionally exhausted, hypervigilant, disconnected from yourself, uncertain about your relationships, or overwhelmed by change.
Many of the people I work with are navigating periods of deep transition or chronic tension: grief and loss, burnout, relationship changes, identity shifts, existential questioning, emotional overwhelm or dysregulation, shutdown, attachment wounding, trauma symptoms, or the quiet realization that the life they built no longer feels sustainable or full alive.

You’re functioning, but exhausted. Some days you tell yourself you’re fine; other days everything feels heavy. Your patience is thin, your mood is low, and the mental load feels relentless. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or living with the impact of a difficult or traumatic birth, you may feel disconnected from yourself or guilty for not feeling how you expected. You want relief, clarity, and support that fits your real life — not one more thing to manage.

I integrate EFT, IFS, CBT, and somatic therapy.
Have you ever wondered how life experiences shape how you feel about yourself? Do you feel stuck in fight or flight, overwhelmed by anxiety, or worried that no matter what you achieve, it’s never enough? Therapy offers a compassionate space to explore these patterns, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful change in your life and relationships. Together, we can explore the roots of your feelings, gently untangle what’s weighing you down, and help you reconnect with your inherent worth. You don’t have to carry the burden alone. Therapy offers the opportunity to feel a little lighter and embrace your true self.

With curiosity, compassion and respect, I work collaboratively with you to integrate traditional talk therapy alongside somatic (body) awareness, nervous system regulation, mindfulness and a healthful lifestyle to help you take steps towards a more self-assured and resilient you!
I strive to help adolescents, adults, couples and families achieve meaningful cognitive and behavioural change through integrative guidance and support, including anxiety (including health anxiety), depression, chronic pain, ADHD, disordered eating, body image, self-esteem, sleep/insomnia, infidelity, relationship issues and women's health (menopause).

My approach is holistic, using somatic and body-based approaches/modalities.
Are you experiencing barriers impacting your sexual relationship with yourself and others? I passionately support individuals, partners and polycules in prioritizing pleasure and becoming more empowered in their sexual experiences. While every individual's journey is unique, common areas of support I offer include navigating sexual trauma, dismantling shaming narratives around sex and pleasure, desire related concerns, arousal and orgasm difficulties, sexual and pelvic pain, and exploring new and developing relationship structures.

My somatic approach integrates attachment theory, neurobiology, and expressive arts to support healing from trauma across all ages.
You want change at the root, not just more coping. I primarily use Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a brainstem-based, evidence-informed approach that attends to the earliest layers of the threat response. We move gently—without forced retelling—so deep tension can ease, breath and sleep can improve, and a sense of safety in the body can grow. From there, life is experienced from a calmer, more connected place with more choice and less reactivity. As helpful, I integrate Art Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Intelligence (IR), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to support your goals.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying too much? Stressed, burnt out, or always putting your own needs last? If so, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with come to counselling feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we create a space where you can set those burdens down and feel truly heard.

Do you want to grow in life? I believe that wisdom and creativity emerge through openness, curiosity, and reflection on your authentic experience. Usually when we experience difficulty in life, we do our best to adapt. We might push away our pain or attempt to mentally escape our situation. This may help in the short term, but our deeper unresolved issues often resurface in confusing or distressing experiences. We can find ourselves in patterns of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or confused. These patterns are not just random occurrences but meaningful signals that something needs more attention.

I work with interventions that involve the body, such as somatic awareness, or other techniques that center around the mind-body connection.
Do you feel disconnected from the life you’re living? Unexpected changes may have altered your life in a way that feels overwhelming and out of your control. Or maybe you’re experiencing a sense of dissatisfaction that is difficult to name. From struggling with fear or anger to looking for ways to bring magic and joy back into your life, you may find yourself feeling stuck. I offer a safe space for you to explore these feelings and determine a way forward. With a greater sense of self-compassion you can learn to reconnect with your inner self and begin to experience more hope, happiness and freedom.

My approach is attachment-focused, experiential, and embodied—blending somatic work, parts work, and nature-based practices to help you shift how you feel, not just how you think.
You’re smart, self-aware, and doing all the “right” things—so why do you still feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck?
Maybe you swing between productivity and burnout, or you’ve read all the books but still feel numb. You might be neurodivergent, a deep thinker, or someone who feels like they’ve lost themselves in work, relationships, or caregiving.
You don’t just want insight—you want to feel alive again. A space to move beyond overthinking, explore your emotions deeply, and reconnect with yourself in a real, embodied way.

When you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or generally difficult emotions, even the smallest of tasks can become overwhelming. This can bring up guilt and shame, feeding back into those depressive or anxious emotions, sometimes feeling like a never ending loop. It can be an incredibly frustrating and isolating experience. Relationships can feel strained, it may be challenging to communicate your experience or to receive support. Whether you feel yourself already at a breaking point or are starting to notice feelings of unease mounting up, therapy can be a place where you no longer have to hold these things alone.
