Are you holding anxiety, trauma, grief, overwhelm, depression, burnout, or chronic stress/injuries, and want to feel more like yourself again? Perhaps, from the outside, you are excelling but, inside, you feel disconnected from what you truly want or need. You might second-guess what you feel, overthink your reactions, or lose yourself in relationships. Especially if you've tried talk therapy before and craved going beyond the story to the root of your experience, this approach is for you. Somatic Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry support you to listen your body, uncover core beliefs, and heal the past in the present moment.

As a trauma-informed relational somatic counsellor, I support individuals and couples, teens, adults, and elders in Nelson and online across BC. This approach is tailored to you and we will move at your pace to safely release stored trauma and emotions with a focus on nervous system regulation.

If you identify as neurodivergent, highly sensitive, queer, or are exploring your identity or relationships, you are not alone. As a neurodivergent, queer, and Highly Sensitive Person, I understand the beauty and complexity of living outside the box. If this resonates, I would love to hear what you are holding through a free 20-minute consultation.

The main modalities I draw from are somatic and eco-therapy. Somatic therapy invites a slowing down and tracking of body sensations. When we tune into the body, new layers of understanding, integration, and trauma-resolution can occur. Eco-therapy honours the inherent wisdom present in the environment. This often involves creating art in nature and following what intrigues us or draws us in.
