I help people recover from trauma using Somatic Experiencing and adapted Internal Family Systems. I work with people who are plural or systems, Autistic, or survivors of religious, medical, or sexual violence. I prioritize transgender, 2S, and nonbinary survivors. I am open to everyone. From a Somatic Experiencing perspective, trauma is energy trapped in the nervous system caused by incomplete protective responses. Sensations are the language of the nervous system. I will guide you to notice and listen to your body's sensations so that you can regulate your nervous system and grow your capacity to feel presence, joy, and relief.

I know how intimidating it can be to reach out for help and take this first step. I am grateful that I get to accompany my clients during this journey. I work from a biopsychosocial framework.

I have a lot of passion and experience working with individuals who are struggling with both substance and process addictions through my many years of working directly with these individuals in withdrawal management centres, inpatient treatment centres and sober living homes across Ontario.

Negative thoughts play a big part in causing and making anxiety and depression worse. On the other hand, anxiety and depression make these negative thoughts even stronger. It's important to realize that constantly having negative thoughts can make a person feel drained and hopeless. This can stop someone from growing and being happy. However, getting out of this harmful cycle requires replacing negative tendencies with more positive ones. Accepting imperfections, acknowledging accomplishments, and practicing self-love can all help a person grow and find real happiness.
