I am an experienced Trauma Trained Clinical Therapist & Naturopath. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Critical to my unique approach is the integration of the Polyvagal Theory, ensuring you “feel safe” and that you are given the proper time and understanding to fully process stressful and traumatic experiences leading to the resolution of these experiences at the nervous system level. Aiding you to attune to yourself and the psychological symptoms of trauma and other mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, anger and physical pain.

I work intuitively and compassionately with you, to gently assist you in recognizing and eliminating fear, negativity, core beliefs, limiting mindsets, and unconscious patterns of self-abandonment, betrayal and sabotage to reveal all that no longer serves your life.
My work centers on moving people away from the mind & ego 'thinking' & into connecting to their bodies and own inner truth and wisdom. This allows for the creation of trust, clarity, certainty, confidence and self-compassion. Empowering you to create the life you truly deserve, taking you from where you are to where you want to be and to who you really are.
