I help you get out of your mind… and into your body ;) Your body is where your memories/emotions are stored AND where healing longstanding stress patterns happens… so we might as well begin there. I specialize working with people who have complex trauma, grief, and anxiety/burnout. I have over 25 years of experience working in mental health and natural health. I offer a holistic approach (mind/body/spirit) to mental health and give you tools that work to help you shift your long seated patterns. I run my signature therapy group: Emotional Literacy to help you learn from your emotions, rather than being dominated by them.
I am trained as an art therapist, psychotherapist, somatic therapist, breathwork practitioner and a herbalist, combining eastern and western philosophies in my healing approach. With couples I use a method called Dialogue Therapy that can be done online or in person. I have created a the Beat + Breath method, to train your mind to be calm and focused.
If you are ready to get to the root of your issues please reach out. Burnout, stress, anxiety, trauma are real and if not addressed have far reaching consequences on your relationships, self esteem, energy levels and capacity to feel good in your own skin. The good news is... you can do something about it AND you are not alone. Do reach out!

I work with people who have experienced all types of trauma, whether recent or childhood, as well anxiety/burnout and grief. During our sessions we work to understand how those memories are encoded in the nervous system and what kind of patterns you enact when you feel triggered. Through mindfulness, I help you shift some of those patterns on a cellular level, so that your stress response shifts.

I have been trained in many different treatment modalities however I work in a client centred way, meaning I work with you to achieve your goals in whatever way you choose. The first session helps us get clear on your goals and your history. Working in a somatic (body-centred) way means we listen to what you feel in your body, and learn how to work with those sensations during a stressful event.
