I am passionate about supporting those who are wanting to have a deeper exploration and are ready to move beyond traditional talk therapy.
About me
As a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with over 15 years of experience, I am deeply committed to providing dedicated support to individuals and families navigating mental health challenges. Since 2018, my journey in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy has equipped me with a Somatic perspective, allowing me to explore the profound connection between trauma and the inherent wisdom within our bodies. My expertise spans various modalities, including Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, DBT, and parts work, all of which I employ through a trauma-informed. anti-oppressive and decolonizing lens.
A significant portion of my practice is devoted to serving the 2SILGBTQ+ communities, where I offer guidance on matters of gender and sexuality. I believe in delving into the complexities of our intersectional identities, stories, and oppressions, as they profoundly shape our experiences, joys, and challenges within ourselves and our relationships. Additionally, I provide invaluable support to families and caregivers navigating the intricate terrain of youth gender journeys, mental health and neurodivergent experiences. As a parent myself and decade of caregiver support I know that healing our selves allows us to show up for our kids in the ways they need.
On a personal note, my own journey of recovery deeply informs my client-centered, strength-based approach and I take pride in my non-binary and neuroqueer identities.

Somatic therapy centres on the understanding that the body holds invaluable wisdom, serving as a key instrument in achieving profound healing. By attuning to bodily sensations and fostering present-moment awareness, we are guided to navigate life's challenges with resilience and authenticity.
As an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist, I draw upon a wide range of approaches to facilitate healing for my clients, including somatic techniques that utilize the body as a pathway to explore and address unresolved trauma. Through gentle exploration and experiential learning, clients embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-compassion, shedding the layers of tension and unresolved emotions that may impede their ability to live authentically and fully.
