Ready to live your best life?
Hello beautiful souls and awakening life warriors.
I believe healing happens in spaces where we feel safe, seen, and supported. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and move toward the life you want to live.
I’m a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Expressive Arts Therapist, and Somatic Therapist with over seven years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, stress, and life transitions. My work is rooted in body-centred, trauma-informed therapy, which means we don’t just talk about your experiences—we also gently explore how they live in your body, nervous system, and daily patterns.
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Some are navigating the impact of childhood wounds, difficult relationships, or past trauma. Others simply know something in their life isn’t working the way they want it to. Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome here.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply individualized. I bring a wide range of therapeutic tools—over 100 practices drawn from somatic therapy, expressive arts, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed counselling. Together, we’ll discover which approaches resonate most with you so that your healing process feels supportive, empowering, and sustainable.
In addition to my professional training, I also bring lived experience as a trauma survivor. This has shaped the way I show up as a therapist—with authenticity, humility, and deep respect for the courage it takes to do this work. I know that healing isn’t linear, and I believe that every person carries their own inner wisdom and capacity for growth.
Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, explore what matters most to you, and learn practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Over time, many clients begin to feel more grounded, more self-aware, and more connected to themselves and others.
If you’re feeling ready—or even just curious about starting therapy—I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.
From suffering to strength
Where your scars become the foundation of life lessons and growth
I work with trauma, PSTD, children’s trauma, anxiety, stress and burn out, depression, life transitions, career guidance, self esteem and self compassion. My approach is geared towards a trauma-informed, strengths-focused and body-centered approach that invites greater resiliency in clients through self -expression, inner wisdom, and creativity.
Therapy doesn’t need to be hard – it can be playful and a powerful learning experience. I often use creative imagery and descriptive metaphors to harness the imagination, bringing visualization, mindfulness, and meditation to evoke greater peacefulness.
Together, we can explore your emotions, feelings and stressors with a holistic approach that integrates body-mind connection. I’m super passionate about creating opportunity for more moments of curiosity, acceptance, and heart-focused intention. I love supporting my clients' personal growth in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space for transformation and healing.
Techniques such as talk therapy, breathwork, gentle movement, body awareness exercises, somatic therapy, art and mindfulness are all melded together with a focus on restoring your sense of balance, releasing stress, promoting balance of your nervous system - and enhancing well being.
Some of the integrative modalities that I work with include Somatic Experiencing, Focusing Oriented Therapy, Focusing Oriented Art Therapy, Expressive Arts and Art Therapy, Parts Work, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and Narrative Therapy.
Does these thoughts/beliefs sound familiar to you?
-”my past is holding me back”
-”my mind/body feels like my enemy”
-”will I ever feel normal again?”
-”I’m so geared up I can’t sleep”
-”what is wrong with me?”
-”I don’t know who I am anymore”
-”I don’t feel ok unless I’m worrying”
-”I feel disconnected, numb, empty, frozen”
-”I’m exhausted and can’t get motivated about anything”
Using a Person-centered therapy approach, I teach you to quiet the mind and to transform the stories we tell ourselves. We develop patience, kindness, self acceptance and a sense of wise confidence. In the here-and-now, we are looking to help you get in touch with your creativity, learning to develop courage, trust your intuition, connecting to your internal felt sense and inner experience.
In providing a safe space to explore your needs, feelings and values, we provide an opportunity for you to be the star as the “expert in your life”.
Healing from trauma may be a lifelong journey. I want to see you have measureable results! With opportunities to expand self-awareness, emotional expression, presence and gratitude, we seek to transform the hard moments that shape us into who we are and guide our future.
