I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing primarily from humanistic, trauma-informed, and somatic modalities.

The humanistic approach forms the foundation of my work, rooted in the belief in each person’s inherent value and capacity for growth. I am passionate about supporting individuals to reconnect with their strengths and potential, even amidst pain and difficulty.

Understanding that trauma, particularly adverse childhood experience, can deeply affect mental health, daily functioning, and relationships, I bring a trauma-informed lens to my practice. This means creating a safe, respectful, and empowering therapeutic environment where healing can begin.

In addition, I incorporate somatic approaches to support clients in processing experiences that may lie beyond words. I am a qualified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and have completed the Bodynamic Foundation Training. These body-based therapies are particularly helpful when trauma is stored in the nervous system, offering gentle ways to release tension and restore balance—especially when verbal expression feels difficult or inaccessible.

I have been working as a counsellor for nearly 15 years. My approach is integrative, drawing primarily from humanistic, trauma-informed, and somatic frameworks.

As a qualified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and having completed both the Foundation and Shock Trauma Trainings with Bodynamic, I integrate body-based (somatic) approaches into my work. These modalities support clients in reducing, or, in some cases, resolving, traumatic symptoms by developing new cognitive, emotional, and physical resources. As described by Bodynamic International, the process enables clients to remain grounded and connected with others, while learning to safely contain and integrate the high-level energies associated with trauma.

Together, we work toward healing, growth, and expanding the possibilities for how you relate to yourself, others, and the world.

I offer a free initial telephone consultation of approximately 20 minutes for those who are considering therapy with me. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide whether I might be the right therapist for you.

During this conversation, I may also invite you to share a little about your background and what you're hoping to gain from therapy. There’s no obligation to commit at this stage—it's simply a chance for us to connect and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
