My aim is to help clients live a life full of meaning, connection, purpose, and vitality. Working in the Edmonton community for over 15 years, I specialize in trauma, burnout, and grief, but provide services for a wide range of concerns. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with training in Hakomi Therapy, I honour the mind-body connection and primarily use somatic/body-oriented approaches to healing. I believe that in order to achieve true lasting change, we must work with the body, as the body is where we store our unprocessed emotions, core wounds, and traumas. NOTE: Services provided in English only.
By focusing on nervous system health, I empower people to break out of survival states of overworking, high anxiety, depression and numbness to increased levels of wellness, resiliency, and joy. I help my clients develop a deep partnership with their body, emotions, and needs, thereby, promoting a life that is more aligned with their true self.
My main strength as a counsellor is the ability to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. I bring compassion, warmth, and professionalism to my practice and balance talk therapy and experiential therapy. I work in a manner that is gentle and reflective of my client's needs, diversities, abilities, and values.
