Are you feeling stuck, anxious or experiencing the same-old challenges in your life and relationships? Somatic Therapy can safely get to the root of the issues and support your system to release these old patterns. I love working with all types of people, new to therapy, seasoned clients and everyone in between. My areas of passion and focus are childhood trauma, chronic pain, sexualized and domestic violence and personal and professional growth and development. I have a lot of experience working with highly sensitive people and trauma, both shock and childhood trauma. www.resiliencesomatics.ca
Relational Somatic Therapy is a counselling therapy for healing trauma. This therapy is leading edge, incorporating the newest research regarding neuroplasticity (how the brain changes) interpersonal neurobiology (how our relationships affect us and our nervous systems) body-based trauma resolution, and attachment theory.
I use an anti-oppression social justice framework and have lots of experience working with BIPOC and LGTBQ2A folks as well as neurodivergent clients and parents of neurodivergent children. I hold clear and present space for life's challenges and for feeling more capable and integrated and regulated in your life.
