Currently accepting new clients. Do you have panic attacks, chronic pain, anxiety or sleep problems? I can help you feel more confident in your ability to meet these challenges. You can learn to calm your nervous system and attain a better sense of control and empowerment. I have extensive experience dealing with pain or disability issues, including chronic pain of any kind, headaches, nerve and muscle pain. For those interested in polyvagal theory, I also integrate the work of Dr. Stephen Porges. If you are coping with "long Covid", I invite you to learn more about how HRV biofeedback can support your recovery.
I provide specialized care including biofeedback for issues of anxiety and panic attacks, sleep disturbances, chronic pain and physical disorders, substance use and behavioral addictions, as well as general life stress and depression. I integrate traditional psychotherapy with body-mind techniques and education for a more comprehensive approach.
If you haven't been able to resolve the problem on your own, you may be surprised at the difference a trained and caring professional can make. I welcome initial phone consultations to help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you.
