It's natural for us to seek safety, security and comfort; however, there are often obstacles in our way that prevent us from achieving these goals. With 20 + years of experience, my practice caters to people experiencing any measure of grief, loss and trauma, with a special interest in death, dying and bereavment, and reproductive challenges, pre-natal, perinatal, and postnatal trauma, including but not limited to infertility, miscarriage, traumatic birthing experiences, loss of a child, depression and anxiety, and parenting/relationship challenges.
With specialties in trauma, grief and loss, and depression and anxiety, my goal is to help you learn to tolerate discomfort, manage intrusive thoughts, soften overwhelming feelings, and create a sense of safety in self and in the world around you. We'll work together to build a meaningful skill set for you to reconcile adverse experiences.
Using both cognitive (CBT) and somatic-centred practices, our work focuses on learning strategies to respond differently to stress and threat. Rooted in attachment, neuroscience, affect regulation, embodiment research and the wisdom of the natural world, this approach translates into treatment across many challenges.
