THERAPY practice

I invite you to connect to your inner wisdom, to light the path to your truest self, and navigate an authentically happy life. I offer virtual 60 minute individual and couple therapy sessions utilizing a variety of research-based modalities focused on deeper self-awareness and transformation.

My therapeutic lens combines cognitive behavioural therapy with somatic based therapies such as sensorimotor psychotherapy, natural processing, emotion focused therapy, and polyvagal theory.

Our intuition knows when we are ready to break free from the psychological obstacles, repeated patterns, and familiar barriers that hold us back from the authenticity and fulfillment we seek. Together, we will uncover how to help you shift your mindset, reframe challenges, and build new habits that align with your deepest aspirations. With focused support, we’ll work to transform the repeated cycles you find yourself in, allowing you to step into new possibilities with confidence and purpose.

Together we will harness the innate wisdom of the body to your own unique, mysterious and emergent growth path so you may liberate your potential.

Couples Therapy

Mind, body and spirit influence our relationship with self, which is the template from which we foster relationships with others. The intimate relationship we seek with our partner may be familiar to the attachment relationship we created with our caregivers.

Together we will explore the intimate dance of relationship to enhance understanding and expression of our partners needs and how to honour our own.

  • Polyvagal Theory is the science of feeling safe, that helps us better understand our challenges and gives us a foundational framework for non-invasive ways to support them. Polyvagal Theory focuses on what is happening in the body and the nervous system, and explains how our sense of safety, or danger or threat, can impact our behavior. Polyvagal Theory is helpful in facilitating change by improving how we feel, think and connect with others.

  • Natural processing (NP) is somatically-based, process-oriented therapy integrating many approaches to healing and growth, including EMDR. NP explores our nature and how to best work with that nature to find ways to work with the potential movement and integration of our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual natures. NP is helpful in understanding our inherent drive for completion and the dilemmas that may arise, such as competition between this and the drive for survival.

MY philosophy

At times throughout our lives we may struggle with accepting experiences as they unfold in the moment. We may be unable to see things for what they are, to let go of how we would like them to be. We may stress about the past and future and become entangled in feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, resentment, and shame.

Once effective patterns of doing may interfere with the simplicity of being, preventing us from living an authentic life, connected to our truest self. Our relationship with self suffers, directly impacting the quality of our relationships with others. With the support of a therapist, we may discover and connect to our truth, grow our awareness, and live with an anchored soul.
