Using an Intersectional Feminist lens, I incorporate Trauma Informed Mindfulness, Somatic Exercises and Internal Family Systems Therapy to support healing.
Have you experienced trauma? Do you oscillate between feeling overwhelmed and anxious, to numb and detached? Do you think that you will never measure up or be "good enough"? We adapt to our environment as a means of ensuring our survival. Perhaps you've learned to adapt by withdrawing from others, or neglecting your own needs. It may have helped to stay endlessly busy, never allowing yourself a break, or using aggression to protect yourself. Regardless of how you have adapted or coped with what happened to you, I firmly believe we can heal from trauma and find inner peace.

I help individuals who are seeking to address the root of their suffering by breaking the cycles of trauma and emotional repression. I offer an embodied approach to shadow work and supporting the awakening process. This often begins by learning how to get out of our heads and into our bodies. Insights naturally arise when we begin to get beneath our limiting beliefs and assumptions and come into contact with the energetics of our direct experience. Some common areas of exploration include healing relationships, trauma, emotional reactivity, deconstructing the ego, and awakening to your true nature.

Throughout life there are unpleasant experiences you have survived that directly impact the way you view yourself, others, and the world. Maybe you’re actively experiencing these events or are experiencing the effects of them years later. At times, the self you previously knew feels lost as unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness increase in intensity and the things you used to enjoy are no longer providing you with a break. Continuing to avoid the uncomfortable is exhausting and repeats the cycle you are trying your best to stop.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Counsellors
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
