About me

My practice
It would be a privilege to support you through the challenges that you are currently experiencing. Adverse childhood or adult experiences impact our brains and bodies. This "trauma" may be showing up in your mood. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, a sense of stuckness or challenges with sleep. Perhaps your emotional reactions are aggressive or shut down and these are impacting your relationships. Addiction to a substance or behaviour may also be interfering with your daily life and relationships.

Therapies that address the mind and body are best for working with the effects of traumatic incidents. Brainspotting Therapy (deep mindful processing), somatic (body) therapies like Integral Somatic Psychology and Somatic Experiencing, are integrated into the work we do together. Outside of session, I also encourage you to find a creative art or physical movement activity that you enjoy.

It's key to know, "What really matters to me in my life?". Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we explore this question and then experiment with ways of taking actions toward them. We will be curious about what gets in the way of achieving them - thoughts, feelings, situations, fear, shame, self- doubt, cravings, urges, a lack of assertiveness skills or practical skills.

I have a down to earth and team approach. I look forward to meeting you.
