I work with adults navigating Complex PTSD and the effects of ongoing or repeated trauma. Many of my clients experience relationship and attachment challenges, boundary difficulties, people-pleasing or fawn responses, and attachment injuries. Others rely heavily on thinking or intellectualizing emotions as a way of coping. I also support individuals and couples experiencing high-conflict patterns, as well as those living with chronic pain or health-related stress. My work is experiential and exercise-based, using somatic awareness and therapeutic exercises to support regulation, awareness, and mind–body integration over time.
I support clients through therapeutic exercises that focus on nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, acceptance, and integration. My work is experiential and somatically informed, integrating cognitive and behavioural strategies and principles informed by memory reconsolidating to support insight, self-understanding, and daily functioning.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. If you’re curious about working together, I offer a complimentary consultation to explore fit and answer any questions.
