Counselling
The kind of therapy I offer is grounded in transpersonal psychology, which is rooted in the belief that psychology and spirituality are interconnected.
I incorporate insights from neuroscience, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, parts work, psychodrama, transpersonal approaches, and Somatic Experiencing, all with a focus on trauma and strengths.​
Somatic experiencing
Somatic Experiencing works with the body to gently complete what was once interrupted, helping the nervous system find safety and ease again.

You may find yourself here if
You feel anxious or overwhelmed, if your body holds stress that doesn’t easily settle, or if past experiences continue to shape how you move through the present.
​
You might be:
-
Living with anxiety or chronic stress
-
Processing trauma or overwhelming experiences
-
Feeling disconnected, numb, or out of balance
-
Struggling with boundaries, relationships, or self-trust
-
Moving through transition, grief, or change
-
Seeking a body-based, compassionate approach to healing
If something here feels familiar, support is available.
