Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? While talk therapy can be helpful, it sometimes only gets us so far. Our bodies are a part of who we are, and thus, also need to be a part of the healing process. Helping individuals and families find ways to regulate their nervous systems is an underlying value in my work (nervous system reset + healing)! I also specialize in helping children process difficult emotions and rebuild confidence through play, creativity, somatic practices, and, most importantly, the child’s interests.

Close to completing a Master of Social Work and Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate, I integrate various therapeutic approaches emphasizing the mind-body connection, parts work, & inner child healing. Together, we learn how to regulate our bodies during distress. With younger ones, I add fun components of play, such as through

Whether you’re an adult seeking connection or a parent wanting support for your child, we’ll focus on honouring our past, uncovering strengths, and setting meaningful goals. Most importantly, we build skills that help regulate our nervous systems and increase trust in our inner guides.

If you are a first responder struggling with the weight of daily stress, feelings of being overwhelmed, or the burden of traumatic experiences, I am here to provide the guidance and support you need to regain balance and strength.

My practice is trauma-informed and deeply attuned to the unique challenges faced by first responders. Grounded in eco-social work, I recognize the interconnectedness of individuals, their communities, and environments, and how these connections shape mental health. This perspective allows me to take a holistic approach to therapy, considering the broader context of your experiences while addressing the deep impact of trauma.

I understand the importance of creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. My practice is built on fostering trust, authenticity, and respect, ensuring you feel supported as we navigate the complexities of trauma and resilience together.

I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Strength-Based Therapy to highlight your inner resources, Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change, and Person-Centred Therapy to prioritize your individual perspective. I also use Narrative Therapy to help you reshape the story of your experiences, fostering empowerment and healing. Additionally, I integrate approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to work through symptoms of PTSD.

Whether you are seeking tools to manage the emotional toll of your work, process traumatic events, or find a way forward through stress and uncertainty, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will create a path toward healing, growth, and reclaiming the sense of purpose and connection that is so vital to your well-being.

Is there hope for your relationship? Is it even worth trying? Are you asking yourself these questions over and over? Relationships are often complicated, stressful, and challenging. Are you feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner? Have you experienced a rupture in the safety and trust of the relationship? Has communicating become ineffective or exhausting?

I am also passionate about supporting people heal and grow in relationships. I am also certified in addiction support and use a recovery focused approach informed by Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).
