Welcome to a Different Kind of Therapy

I offer a compassionate no-nonsense space to explore what’s beneath the surface so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and connection.

 

This means we don’t just focus on what you think, we pay attention to what your body is holding and how your past experiences might still be shaping your present

 

I am not the type of therapist to just sit back and nod; I’ll be engaged, real, and invested in your growth. At the same time, we’ll move at a pace that respects your nervous system and your story.

​

​​My approach is rooted in interpersonal neurobiology, EMDR, and somatic therapies. Together, we’ll work together to:

  • Restore a sense of felt safety

  • Help your body feel calm, not just cope

  • Release emotional and physiological distress from the past

  • Feel more connected to your body and comfortable with emotions

  • Process stuck memories without needing to talk in detail

  • Allow a more stable sense of self to emerge

I have been a Registered Social Worker (RSW) since 2002 and have worked in multiple complex settings including critical care, palliative care, older adult mental health and outpatient addiction counselling.

”Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.”
