As a trauma-informed somatic counsellor, my approach is grounded in us collaboratively creating safety. I offer an authentic, compassionate connection and a therapeutic trauma lens for you to explore your experiences with support.

 

Often when difficult experiences occur, there is a lack of time, energy, capacity, or connection. There may be an absence of compassion that is required to notice, process, or care for the effects and impacts of that challenge upon us. Integration of those missing elements with dedicated support, attention, and compassion is key for growth, repair, and healing.

 

At times, the lingering impacts of trauma may occur in isolation or in repeated trauma patterns. Trauma-informed counselling can shift the residual impact ​of trauma and restore a sense of safety, hope, connection, and empowerment.

 

Together we create a space that is supportive and personalized for your unique hopes and goals. I value the inherent insights of your experience, self-expertise, learning style, and preferences. We may include integrating the somatic wisdom of the body as a resource to explore and expand on your skills, strengths, and resources.

 

I have a deep respect for inner wisdom, insightful intelligence, and capacity for healing and growth within each individual. Central to my practice are therapeutic approaches that promote access to this inherent wisdom by incorporating the body, creativity, and connection as a way of healing and as a way to make and maintain changes that are meaningful for you.

 

Together we will work at a pace that feels right for you. I have an integrative, strength-based, person-centered approach, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to support your unique needs. 

 

A genuine compassionate presence provides a foundation to feel safe and empowered and to be seen, understood, supported, and valued just as you are. From this place of acceptance and kind curiosity, significant and sustainable change and growth become most possible.
