Somatic Therapists in Calgary, AB

Into a base of eastern mindfulness practices, I weave cognitive, somatic, solution-focussed and EMDR therapies, bringing you into connection with inner-resources and an innate sense of calm, purpose and clarity that draws from the wisdom of the body and the power of mindfulness to ease suffering, find solutions, and cultivate simple everyday happiness.

I work with trauma specialized approaches (somatic exposure, EMDR, as well as body-oriented psychotherapy) to help clients overcome trauma and explore empowerment as they move forward in their lives.

The evidence-based models I draw upon include: Bodynamics, Somatic Therapy, CBT, and Functional Family Therapy.

I pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches including narrative, solution-focused, somatic, mindfulness, CBT, play therapy, and EMDR in order to tailor the process specifically to your needs.

A more recent area of specialization is utilizing attachment and somatic based therapies to assist people through trauma, loss and/or the effects of accumulated stress.

I use a collaborative model for therapy that draws from several approaches based on the client’s needs and presenting concerns, including: Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Somatic and Mindfulness Modalities, Dialect Behavioural Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I practice relationship based counselling utilizing CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, art therapy, and play therapy.

My primary approaches are: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (reframing negative/anxious thoughts and increasing adaptive coping skills); trauma focused counselling (EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Bodynamics); and play therapy for children.

I take an integrated approach, using trauma-informed practice, neuro-sequential model of therapeutics, expressive arts, somatic therapy, narrative approach, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy and EMDR.

From my own personal healing journey, it wasn't until I found a therapist that had some training in somatic psychotherapy (mind/body counselling) that I was able to start addressing the underlying early traumas that kept me repeating the same emotional patterns in my relationships.

In therapy, I use an integrated approach drawing from several models of therapy based on client needs including SFT, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, Play Therapy and others.

I am currently completing a 2 year training in somatic attachment for the resolution of trauma and past relational wounds.

I primarily utilize cognitive behavioural therapy, feminist therapy, EMDR, Prolonged-Exposure Therapy & mindfulness & somatic-based interventions, in my practice.

I offer an evidence-based approach based on EMDR Therapy integrated with LENS Neurofeedback, Parts/Ego State Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic & Sensorimotor therapy, CBT, Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and other trauma-informed modalities.
