My work addresses experiences of trauma, post-traumatic stress, childhood adversity, or grief/loss through somatic, mindfulness and movement therapy practices.
Body-centered therapy may be effective for you, if you experience:
-Re-occurring and distressing memories.
-Feeling sensitive, "touchy" or reactive in certain situations, places or interactions.
-Avoiding certain situations, places, people, emotions or interactions.
-Anxiety, fear, guilt or shame in a way that you feel needs to change.
-Depression, sadness, or isolation in a way that impacts your life and well-being.
-Re-occurring nightmares or disturbing dreams.
Body-centered therapy is based on the belief that our bodies continue to hold certain difficult experiences and emotions long after the incident is over because we have not had the opportunity to fully feel, acknowledge or complete them in a safe way. Body-centered therapy can allow for a safe and contained space to understand what we are still holding.
I am a registered Social Worker and Therapist dedicated to helping create a world where people are liberated, joyful, interconnected, and at peace. Dance, sports, martial arts (capoeira) and meditation have been foundational in my life, and as a result, body-awareness, movement and mindfulness are also at the core of my counselling approach.
