About Me

A Holistic Approach to Healing

​

I believe wellness extends far beyond simply managing symptoms—it's about nurturing the profound interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. As someone who has personally navigated significant mental health challenges and emerged thriving, I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding to my work. I'm deeply committed to walking alongside you as you create meaningful healing, transformation, and lasting wellness in your life.

​

My Therapeutic Approach

​

Every interaction in our work together is grounded in compassion, creativity, curiosity, collaboration, and empowerment. I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive space where your innate wisdom can emerge. Depending on your unique needs and preferences, I draw from an integrative toolkit that includes:

​

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Therapy

• Body-Based (Somatic) Therapies

• Mindfulness and Meditation

• Self-Compassion practices

• Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

 

I recognize that lasting change happens when we work with more than just the conscious mind. That's why I incorporate approaches that engage the subconscious, helping you create deep, sustainable shifts in your wellbeing.

​

Specialized Training & Expertise

​

I'm committed to lifelong learning and regularly pursue advanced training in leading-edge integrative therapies. My specialized training includes extensive work in:

​

• EMDR therapy

• Complex trauma and PTSD treatment

• Mental health and holistic wellbeing

​

Beyond traditional psychotherapy training in EMDR and CBT, I hold certifications as a Hatha Yoga teacher, a Kundalini Yoga teacher, and a Qigong instructor. Since 2007, I've been teaching these embodied practices, and I thoughtfully weave body-based wisdom into my individual therapy work when it serves your healing journey.

 

A Spiritual Perspective

​

As a spiritual seeker myself, I approach the mysterious dimensions of human experience—what some Eastern traditions call qi, chi, or kundalini—with openness and curiosity. I believe that questions themselves can be profoundly valuable, even when definitive answers remain elusive. I'm committed to meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we can explore whether connecting with your core Self, the natural world, the web of all beings, or the greater universe might support your healing. Your beliefs and comfort level always guide our work.

​

Experience That Matters

​

With over 10 years of experience in teaching and counselling across community settings, I bring substantial depth to our work together. My subsequent clinical practice spans more than 15 years of specialized treatment for:

​

• Complex trauma

• PTSD

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Addictions

• Related mental health concerns

 

My Commitment to You

​

I'm honored to support you in discovering your path toward wholeness. Whether through talk therapy, somatic practices, or the integration of both, I'm here to help you access the healing resources that already exist within you.

​

I look forward to the possibility of working together on your journey towards lasting wellness.
