I incorporate a variety of therapies, including emotionally focused therapy, somatic experiencing, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to access and heal unresolved hurts and let go of shame.
When clients come to therapy, I think what so many are searching for is hope. Hope that change is possible and that things won't be like this forever. Whether you are navigating grief, life transitions, divorce, depression, anxiety, trauma, past emotional neglect, dysfunctional family dynamics, relationship conflict, parenting challenges or a general feeling of dissatisfaction and emptiness in your life, my goal is to help you connect to hope and recognize that things do improve. I aim to be a lifeline for you as you face vulnerabilities, strong emotions and difficult obstacles.

Imagine a life where you're not just getting by but truly thriving.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or struggling with relationships, you're seeking not just relief, but a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. You want to break free from patterns that no longer serve you, develop healthier ways of coping, and create a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.

I draw on principles of Attachment-Based, Cognitive Behavioural, Compassion Focused, Emotion Focused, Hakomi, Somatic, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies.
I believe that all people have a natural affinity toward growth and healing. As a psychologist it is my role to provide a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space to explore concerns as they arise. I honour the strengths and abilities that each person brings to therapy and use these as important and valuable resources to move toward wellness. Equality and understanding problems within the context in which they occur are also important tenants of my work. Through connection and collaboration, I work together with clients to find the right solutions for them.

Somatic therapy increases awareness by processing our inner sensations to become available to our conscious awareness, leading to a healthy, more regulated nervous system.
I wish to help you feel safe, validated, and heard. I am curious to learn your strengths and cultural diversities and collaboratively create therapy goals based on exploring and reflecting on your lived experience. I am empathic and compassionate and have faced the reality of life’s ups and downs; in this space, all emotions, tears, and humour are honoured. As a healthcare professional, I understand the pressures of public service. I invite healthcare professionals who wish to reduce stress and learn healthy coping mechanisms to work with me, and in addition, I would like to offer my services to those with chronic pain.

I prioritize inclusivity and utilize therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems Therapy, Somatic Therapy Techniques, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy to guide clients in establishing healthy boundaries and tap into their innate healing capacities.
Are you struggling with daily life, goals, or your relationship with yourself or others? Do fear, anxiety, low self-worth, setting boundaries, or anger hold you back? I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental approach focused on helping you rediscover your self-worth and innate ability to navigate life's challenges. With a background in addiction treatment and a diverse upbringing, I integrate Eastern philosophy and spirituality into my practice. I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services.

My approach promotes well-being on multiple levels and includes somatic therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness, as well as more traditional CBT and solution-focused talk therapies.
Sometimes, the more you try to hold it together on the outside, the more you fall apart on the inside. If you're feeling anxious, depressed, devastated, confused and overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, life transitions, relationships, grief or trauma, you're probably striving to get back on your feet. It happens to all of us and even the strongest can benefit from taking time to explore (often hidden or forgotten) inner resources. It's not a sign of weakness to seek support, but of wisdom: when what used to work no longer does, it's time to explore alternative options.

I specialize in perinatal mental health, family systems, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed cognitive behavioural therapy.
Hi I’m Jamie. Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, alone? Let's navigate your feelings together. In today’s world, I believe that we too often focus on what we believe our weaknesses to be and ignore what makes us unique or acknowledge that it is okay to not be okay. We will focus on these pieces through our sessions. Everyone’s journey to wellness is deeply personal and I hope to create a realistic path for movement forward.

I work primarily from a Hakomi ( somatic) and Motivational Interviewing approach.
Life experiences can hinder our emotional, mental, or spiritual growth, making it difficult to move forward in an effective way.

I am passionate about helping my clients understand how the brain works and taking a strength-based approach to developing skills.

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.
