I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space where you can feel seen and heard. I integrate relational and somatic (body-based) approaches, drawing from attachment theory and nervous system-informed practices to support you in feeling safer, more regulated, and more connected to yourself.

Rooted in Relationship

I show up as a real human, not a blank slate. There is room here for insight and “I don’t knows,” for seriousness and humour, and for showing up and connecting as our authentic, human selves. My approach is informed by attachment theory, which explores how early relationships shape the way we relate to others and ourselves over time.

Body Aware

Many of us learn to disconnect from our bodies in response to stress, overwhelm, or cultural pressure. Often, our bodies communicate things before we have words for them, and part of our work may involve learning to listen to those signals with curiosity. I also work with an awareness of the nervous system, including common stress/trauma responses such as fight, flight, freeze, and fawn (people-pleasing).

Context Aware

I work from a systemic, feminist, and trauma-informed perspective. In our work together, this means I pay attention to how power, privilege, culture, and oppression might shape our lives and relationships, while also holding space for individual nuance and personal meaning. I recognize both the influence of systems and the individual complexities of being human.
