A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m originally from Quebec and moved to BC 13 years ago with my cat, Mickey. At that time, I was struggling with anxiety and depression, feeling stuck in a job I didn’t enjoy, and hoping that a big change would fix everything. Of course, it wasn’t that simple. But living in BC opened new doors for me — I discovered the healing power of nature, movement, and connection.
Through mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and building community, I began to reconnect with my body after years of feeling trapped in my head. I explored different ways of healing and eventually found somatic experiencing (SE). That first session was a turning point — I realized that true healing wasn’t about getting rid of anxiety or depression, but about learning to listen to what they were trying to tell me.
​
This experience inspired me to train in both counselling and somatic experiencing so I could support others in navigating their own struggles. Today, my approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and presence. I don’t aim to “fix” what you’re feeling, but to create space for you to explore it safely, at your own pace.
I believe healing comes from connection — with ourselves, with others, and with the parts of us we’ve learned to push away. My role is to walk alongside you as you find new ways of relating to your emotions, your body, and your story.
HOW I WORK
​
My foundation is in counselling from a transpersonal perspective, which sees people as more than their thoughts and bodies — also including the unseen, spiritual, and deeply human qualities that make them whole. Alongside this, I have my training in Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-based approach to healing trauma and stress.
​
Somatic Experiencing supports the body’s natural ability to heal by gently bringing your attention to what is happening for you in the present moment — whether that shows up as sensations, emotions, thought processes, or images. With SE, we work on expanding your capacity to be with what arises, strengthening your ability to stay present, supporting your nervous system’s natural regulation, and finding helpful resources to keep you grounded and connected during the process.
​
Trauma can often leave us feeling disconnected from safety, curiosity, and vitality. In our work together, my hope is to help you reconnect with these qualities at your own pace. I bring curiosity, compassion, and presence to each session, while encouraging you to rediscover your own inner resources.
​
My approach integrates:
-
Attachment theory — to explore how relationships shape us.
-
Mindfulness — to cultivate awareness and grounding.
-
Parts work & psychodrama — to gently explore the different aspects of self.
-
Transpersonal counselling & Somatic Experiencing — to reconnect body, mind, and spirit.
​
I work from a trauma-informed lens, always respecting your pace and readiness. I’m passionate about learning and continue to expand my skills through ongoing training and study, so I can bring the most supportive tools to our sessions.
