Life experiences—especially early wounds, relational harm, or profound loss—can stay with us long after the moment has passed. You might notice it showing up as tension in your body, difficulty trusting others, overwhelm in relationships, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Grief, family dynamics, workplace stress, and body image struggles can all shape how safe and settled we feel in our daily lives. If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, you’re not alone.

In my work, I focus on helping you reconnect with your body and nervous system so healing can happen at a deeper level. Using somatic informed approaches & practices, I support you in gently noticing how experiences are held in the body and building the capacity to move through them with greater steadiness and self-trust. Together, we work at a pace that honours your nervous system, creating space for relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of grounding. I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T) – what is A.R.T?  – as part of my practice, which can support folks in processing distressing experiences, trauma, anxiety, and other overwhelming life events.

I support humans navigating grief and loss, childhood distress and trauma, and the complex dynamics that can arise in families, relationships, and workplaces. I also work with people who are struggling with body image concerns and are looking to move away from harmful diet culture toward a more compassionate and respectful relationship with their bodies.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. I aim to create a calm and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Together we’ll work to understand the patterns that have shaped your life, build greater nervous system regulation, and support you in moving forward with more connection, resilience, and ease.
