Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you struggle with depression and/or anxiety? Are you tired of feeling defeated? You are not alone! I am here to help.
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 combine somatic therapy with traditional talk therapy as part of a holistic approach to self-improvement.
Welcome! We might work well together if you're seeking a therapist who is gentle, direct, and engaged in session. I enjoy helping people improve their relationships with themselves, other people, and the challenging parts of life – things like trauma, anxiety, stress, communication, depression, and grief. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be heard and to heal no matter how they live or identify. And I love learning! I grow alongside every client I see.

I use a relational framework while drawing from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), experiential, somatic and existential approaches.
Hey! I'm Christopher, a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I work with teens, adults, couples and families dealing with a variety of concerns. I value flexibility, a deep connection and fun. I strive to meet you wherever you are in life's journey, whether that's diving deep and wading in the dark or if you're feeling stuck and need to untangle the mess. I aim to listen wholeheartedly and offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be authentic. Lastly, I believe the journey is about progress (no matter how small) over perfection, which can be made a lot smoother when we are able to exhale and share a few laughs along the way.

I primarily use animal-assisted therapy (dog/horses/cats/goats/sheep/chickens/etc), play therapy, somatic experiencing (SE), EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and other modalities, to support all ages to thrive (not just survive) in their lives.

I primarily work with children and teens (3-17yo), parents, and adults. My therapy dog and I aim to create a safe space for clients of all ages to develop confidence, self-esteem, and peace; cultivate meaningful growth and change; explore past patterns; and process trauma(s).

I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including mindfulness, yoga, somatic, compassion-focused therapy, EMDR therapy, Sports Psychology, DBT, and Gottman couples therapy, in order to support individuals in being more connected, current, and creative in their relationship with themselves and the world.
I help clients shift from just surviving into thriving; realigning with who and how they want to be instead of being hijacked by outdated narratives as a result of past experiences. My focus is on creating safe trauma-informed spaces and inspiring a compassionate curiosity about "who am I?" "How did I get to this point?" "What else might be possible?". I have always been fascinated with how our experiences shape us and how we may discover meaning and inspiration. During this quest I have worked as a strength & conditioning coach, yoga teacher, and counsellor and these experiences have uniquely shaped how I show up as a therapist.

I primarily use EMDR, parts work, Somatic Experiencing, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
I work with teens and adults who want to change their patterns of behaving and their responses to triggers. Their goals are to navigate hard seasons, heal through trauma, find relief from stress/burn-out, and foster healthier relationships. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety/panic, depression, managing hard emotions (like anger), perfectionism/the need to achieve, low self-worth, and codependency/boundary-setting. As a first generation Canadian Filipina, I often see BIPOC folks wanting a therapist who understands what it's like to navigate one's life with two cultural identities.

Deciding to attend therapy often happens at very difficult times in life and it can be challenging to meet with a stranger to discuss personal issues. I work hard to create a space where a client can feel comfortable enough to engage in the therapeutic process and feel like they are actually getting something out of therapy, more than what they could get from having a chat with a good friend. I am able to offer a client a sense of partnership; that we are continually working towards change. I know clients do better when the therapist is present and engaged and so I work to give you a sense of who I am in our interactions.

**Accepting new clients** Why do people come to therapy? Oftentimes people are facing a struggle that doesn’t seem manageable on their own. Others may feel stuck, unheard, overwhelmed, or just need an unbiased and empathetic ear. Whatever the reason for coming to therapy may be, establishing trust is my first priority.

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.
