About Me
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that every living being has the wisdom to heal themselves, and that you can access that power. I support my clients to stabilize and regulate their emotions and nervous systems and restore a balanced relationship with their body. Together we address the unconscious dynamics that may be fuelling your distress and create new pathways for understanding your experiences. I have witnessed transformational healing and I know that magic happens when we can get out of the way and allow it. Working collaboratively from your unique perspective, I provide trauma focused, somatic and mindful therapy that promotes your strengths and supports your fullest potential. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and specialize in treating single incident and chronic trauma, along with the symptoms that followed. Trauma occurred when you felt isolated and overwhelmed and lacked the resources to emotionally process what was happening to you. Together we can complete the process, allowing for resolution of the trauma and the symptoms. Working with somatic awareness, self-compassion, and polyvagal theory, I help clients better understand and respond to their body and their environments. Additionally, I also provide Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry. I specialize in Perinatal Mental Health including issues around fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, complications, transitions, and loss. I have been passionate about supporting people on a healing journey since 1998 and practiced as a Registered Midwife and a massage therapist before becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery from Ryerson University. My personal passions include yoga, meditation, and dance.
