I am a Registered Psychologist with 10 years of experience working with adults and couples on a variety of issues including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and addictions.
Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.
Grounded in 30 years of mindfulness meditation practice, body work, and alternative healing approaches, my client-centered approach is informed by training in somatic approaches (Somatic Experiencing, or SE), in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), positive psychology, group therapy, couples therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), a body based trauma processing modality that is informed by the Polyvagal Theory. I use experiential, meditative, and expressive arts exercises to help clients access inner resources and connect to their issues. I am also interested in the neurobiology that underlies thought, emotions, behaviour, and the stress response.
I feel honoured to meet and work with people and I naturally bring warmth and humour to my interactions.
