Based on this idea, I provide a comprehensive strategy that combines somatic work and trauma-informed techniques.
As your therapist, I use many skills to help you heal. I see therapy as an mind and body endeavour. In my opinion, genuine human connection—which requires time to develop into a relationship based on authenticity and trust—is the key to healing. In order for you to go out into the world as your most genuine, at-ease self, I work with you to explore emotional patterns, ideas, and feelings. My goal is to provide a calm atmosphere where we can take our time and work through challenging situations together.

If you're having trouble getting ahead of your thoughts, emotions, or behaviours know that relief is possible, and success can be made inevitable. Thriving is about HAPPINESS and PEACE, and not just about relieving DEPRESSION, ANXIETY or RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES. True change is maintainable and sustainable. It is not that you can't handle what life presents, it is that you need to learn how to not only create relief, effectively and efficiently, but learn how to create, sustain, and maintain happiness and peace. The goal is not less depression, anxiety, or less struggle in a relationship. The goal is to THRIVE.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
