About Me

As a dedicated and compassionate Tsawwassen, BC based couples and trauma therapist, I am committed to guiding individuals and couples through the complexities of their emotional journeys. With an understanding of the impact of trauma on our nervous systems, relationships, and personal well-being I help individuals and couples understand how trauma effects the brain, influences emotions, behaviours and relationships. I believe that relationships are built around three main areas: attachment, developmental neuroscience, and biological arousal regulation. Understanding how the brain works provides the physiological framework for why we act and react to our world. Combined with the explanation for our biological need to bond, how our early experiences/relationships create the blueprint for our understanding of safety and security in adulthood allows me to support individuals and couples to connect, heal, grow, and thrive. By exploring these together, we can understand how our history, present, and future may be affected individually and in our relationships. And how we might move forward in a healthy way. Through trauma-informed care, I support clients in processing, re-processing and re-integrating their experiences, fostering healing and resilience. The focal points are to help couples rediscover and rebuild connections after trauma or relational challenges. By facilitating open communication, fostering understanding, and offering evidence-based and neuro-based ways in which to effectively navigate conflict and resolution, while building secure functioning within the couple dynamic.
