With over 20 years of experience bridging physical and psychological care, I offer an integrative approach to psychotherapy. My background as a Registered Massage Therapist & Neurofunctional Acupuncturist provides a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology, which I incorporate to support clients navigating life transitions and change. I specialize in relationships, with others and with oneself, and believe healing happens when we understand both what has happened to us and what’s happening within us. Emotions live in the body and mind, shaping how we experience life. Together, we build resilience, clarity, & meaningful change.
Your body doesn't distinguish between mental & physical pain. Thus, your thoughts significantly influence your physiological responses & behaviour. This means talk therapy can positively impact your physical recovery. My comprehensive understanding of both physiology & psychology can support you in achieving your recovery goals.
Let's help you gain additional perspectives of your life's experiences and current situation, recognizing the opportunities for growth and overall wellness. Let's work together to help you discover the tools and strategies you need to move forward.

Self-compassion is the foundation of mental wellness. Life comprises waves of emotions, thoughts, & reactions. Effective communication is advocating for yourself, & and acknowledging what you need to be happy, healthy & comfortable. Healthy self-worth leads to healthy self-esteem & the self-confidence to move forward. I can help you achieve your goals by providing a safe space for collaboration.
