Approach

My approach is rooted in Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Person-Centred Therapy. In other words, I recognize how our nervous system is influenced by our environment, our relationships with ourselves & others, and how emotions can create patterns of stress in the body

Clients I work with 

I primarily work with adults who are experiencing any of the following: anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, existential questions, life transitions, relationship problems, and stress management.

Focus

  • General mental health

  • Whole-body + nervous system healing

  • Relational challenges with self and others

  • Psychedelic-assisted therapy preparation + integration (coming soon)

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours.

To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
