I work from an integrative approach, which means I see you as a multi-faceted being with unique needs, but my main modalities include humanistic person-centered, CBT, and somatic mindfulness.
If you are currently struggling with grief, relationship issues, anxiety, perfectionism or you generally consider yourself a sensitive/anxious individual, you have come to the right place. I'm an accredited counselor, and I work with adults, teenagers and couples from all walks of life but I'm also a human who has experienced all of the issues listed above. I like to use both professional and personal experiences to inform my work.

I offer mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy to help you explore and reach deeper parts of yourself that are not accessible by merely talking about the issues.

I can help you build a deeper connection with yourself, heal old wounds, and bring about lasting changes that will open up more options and possibilities.

My treatment methodology combines Psychodynamic, CBT, Hakomi, EMDR and Brainspotting with my personality style to create a unique psycho-social-somatic therapy practice.
Individual counselling is helpful when you are in a state of chronic or intense unhappiness, discomfort, stress or anxiety, fear, fatigue, anger, hopelessness, etc...and you no longer want to be in that state. Individual therapy may be the first step toward positive change in your life. Couples decide to work with me when the following issues arise in their relationship: Emotional and/or physical infidelity; Communication breakdowns; Inability to resolve conflicts without fighting; Unmet emotional needs; Gradual loss of intimacy, affection, or sex; Mood disturbances (depression, anxiety); High stress levels, etc...

Are you struggling with repetitive pattern, or symptoms, emotional, affective or psychological issues ? Rather than taking medication and treating the issue on the surface, would you prefer to better understand why this is happening to you, and why it happens ? With more than 23 year of private practice of psychotherapy, I can help you to cope with your situation and, most of the time, turn it into a positive experience. My work focuses on qualitative change, and for that we'll analyze things under the surface.

Emotion complements reason in ways which can be confusing, especially considering the social animal we are as humans: living with remarkable sensitivity to one another. Emotion guides us toward knowing our unmet needs. In therapy, only you can be the expert of your inner world's path. It is an honor to accompany you while maintaining focus on your goals, limiting distraction and avoidance behaviors, and fostering opportunities for appropriate self advocacy and self compassion.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
