We are all walking histories of our life. More often than not, an individual’s history involves significant life events that has caused stress, loss, pain, or trauma. Adverse life experiences can have an impact on our mental health and quality of life. I aim to support you in the ability to acknowledge and validate your past and present challenges. Together we work towards recognizing your resilience and use therapeutic interventions and resources to strengthen your coping skills. I believe we as individuals are our greatest resource! My goal is to support you healing and achieving your therapeutic objectives.

My approach is trauma focused as I believe every individual has experience with events that activate our nervous system's "fight, flight, freeze" response. I apply this approach using therapeutic methods and psychoeducation on the nervous system. Understanding your emotional, cognitive, and behavioural responses, is a valuable resource in your therapy.

If you have noticed feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, you are not alone. There can be an endless list of things in life that can pull our attention and energy into multiple directions, often simultaneously. Many struggle with taking care of themselves (without feelings of guilt). As a friendly reminder, you are worth being prioritized and cared for.

I work with clients who feel disconnected from themselves and/or others. My treatment approach is person-centred. We work on understanding how your mind and body communicates its needs. We delve into the inner workings of your nervous system and process unresolved memories, emotions and behavioural responses. Sessions are focused on treating yourself with kindness, compassion, and respect.
