SOMATIC & EMDR THERAPY OFFERED ACROSS ONTARIO & BC
A supportive space that offers curiosity, connection and aliveness.
Individual psychotherapy sessions begin by creating a safe, trusting space, where we can gently explore your deepest desires while tending to the roots of your wounded parts.
HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING SERVICES CAN SUPPORT YOUR JOURNEY
Our hope is to help you tap into your body's wisdom and live an authentic, connected life.
Counselling creates a nurturing space where you can freely express your deepest fears, needs, and greatest aspirations.
Together, we'll explore areas of your life that you'd like to grow in, explore your story with compassion, and connect you back to your body. From relationships to transitions to trauma, each session is focused on fostering healing, resilience, and aliveness.
This could look like:
learning coping skills to respond to life's challenges rather than react
getting out of fight/flight mode to find freedom and peace within yourself
gaining clarity on who you are and permission to be yourself
finding a new path to understanding your mind, body, and spirit
This is not just therapy; it's the beginning of a journey towards becoming your most authentic and connected self.

WHAT TO EXPECT
How I support your journey
This journey is yours, and I am here to facilitate it, fostering a relationship built on trust and mutual respect.
I approach every client with a trauma-informed lens, supporting you each step of the way. We will explore how to connect back to yourself with clarity and confidence, utilizing best practices and drawing from the following approaches to therapy:
-
Meditation, grounding techniques, and other mindful practices can help us to connect to the present moment, gain a new perspective on emotional experiences, and let go of intrusive thoughts or feelings.
-
When we are stuck in flight/fight, symptoms of stress can accumulate in our bodies and impact our well-being. Somatic therapy helps us release, recover, and become more resilient.
-
This model works with the unconscious attachment patterns that cause physiological symptoms. We address the trauma that impacts our identity, emotions, relationships, and more.
-
This short-term tool acknowledges how our thoughts and feelings impact our behaviours. We learn to identify, challenge, and change our thought patterns, and in turn, our responses to difficult situations.
-
Individuals experience trauma differently, including those with PTSD. EMDR therapy is a guided psychotherapy technique that uses bilateral eye movements to relieve traumatic responses and provide extra support as we reintegrate difficult experiences into our stories.
GET STARTED
Let's talk about how you can start living authentically.
Trauma-informed therapy is not one-size-fits-all. There are some situations where you may require further assessment, interventions or perhaps a mental health diagnosis, and accessing a psychologist or psychiatrist may be the best first step for you in this case.
STEP ONE
Book a free 15-minute consultation to set a time for us to discuss your goals—no referral required.
STEP TWO
We’ll meet over a call to discuss what you what is important to you and whether you feel we are a great fit to begin therapy.
STEP THREE
Then, we'll set up your first 1-3 sessions to start exploring your story within.
