Therapists in V0R
Therapy can be a big decision, my goal is always to create a safe, non judgemental space for all people to get help with the issues they face in life. Through open and honest dialogue, Somatic Experiencing and a collaborative approach with my clients, I enjoy helping people gain insight into themselves, develop coping strategies and work towards personal growth and healing.
Additionally, special consideration needs to be acknowledged for those with trauma related issues and the gentle approach of Somatic Experiencing is a modality to offer incredible hope and healing to people who have been suffering through this.

Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma. My approach seeks to meet people where they are at and provide a deep understanding from which change can happen. I've been a therapist for 15 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) halfway through my career. I have a lot of trust in people's ability to heal and change, having witnessed these profound journeys many times.

Are you wanting to create a better life rather than settling for status quo? Maybe just getting by while filled with anxiety and feelings of hopeless; using excess food, drugs or alcohol just to cope. I believe it takes courage and tremendous willingness to begin a path of change and personal transformation and it is an honour and a joy to walk with people on their journey toward wholeness. My work with clients often leaves me in awe of the strength of the human spirit as I witness individuals overcome trauma and self-destructive behaviours and move toward their dreams while embracing their authentic self.

In my sessions, I want clients to feel truly listened to. Therapy, in my view, is a space for a client to experience empathetic and genuine attention which may be rarely found in everyday life. With this kind of attention, people can face problems and develop strengths much more easily than on their own. Ultimately, my goal is to help people get to the point at which they can manage their mental health without me, by using the tools and skills we develop during our sessions.

I support adult women who feel stuck in painful emotional patterns - whether that shows up as anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a sense of losing themselves in the needs of others.

Do you struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Do you find yourself putting your needs last, just trying to get through the day? Do you wonder if life is supposed to feel better than this?
Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, uncertain, and emotionally exhausted as they try to manage relationships, work, parenthood, loss, and major life changes. When trauma, grief, or chronic stress go unprocessed, your nervous system can stay stuck in survival mode - making it hard to feel calm, connected, or like yourself.
