ABOUT THE THERAPIST

As a trauma therapist, I believe therapy is about understanding and honoring the natural defenses your mind and body have developed to shield you from pain. Some of those defenses don't serve us anymore. That is when therapy can help. 

My Approach to Helping:

My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic. I am an integrative and attachment focused therapist, specialising in EMDR. I use different modalities to support my clients, such as somatic therapy, DBT, relational therapy, and mindfulness. We will work together to help you regulate your nervous system, be more attuned to your emotions, and process painful past memories. My goal is to help my clients cultivate self-acceptance, build secure attachments with safe others, and foster healthy, fulfilling relationships in their lives.​

My background includes working with individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction, and involved in sex work, most of whom were survivors of childhood sexual trauma. I have provided long-term therapy for men and women who survived sexual abuse. Through this work, I have learned to appreciate the true meaning of resilience. I deeply respect every step towards self-care my clients take, even if it is as simple as getting dressed in the morning.  

I know not every therapist will fit your needs. For that reason, I offer a free consultation to give you the time and space to decide if I should be your therapist.
