Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, uncomfortable physical symptoms or life feels like it is "too much"?
Perhaps your behaviour has recently changed and you are finding it hard to make a decision, focus on work or concentrate on conversations.
Are you finding it difficult to connect and maintain your relationships and feel disconnected from your friends and family?
Most adults develop strong coping skills, but certain adverse life events from your past, that have been overwhelming and can be traumatic, can sometimes be too much to process. Eventually, we all have the potential to develop a wide range of troubling and confusing symptoms.
As a Certified Practitioner of Somatic Experiencing®, I support you in listening to and understanding your body’s voice. Together, we will find your way to connect to your body’s inner wisdom and release the trapped survival energy so you can….
Better connect to your loved ones.
Let go of your physical pain.
Feel grounded, safe and joyful
Body-oriented Approach
I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner which is a body-oriented approach for healing trauma. Our beginning steps will likely include mindful and compassionate practices, as well as cognitive and narrative (talk) therapies. I am also a student of NeuroAffective Touch® which allows us to "transcend the limitations of talk therapy for healing early emotional and relational wounds" (Dr. Aline Lapierre). NeuroAffective Touch® "addresses emotional, relational, and developmental deficits that cannot be reached by verbal means alone" (Dr. Aline Lapierre).
We go at your pace, in your own time. I invite you to contact me if you have any questions about how I support your therapeutic process.
Supporting clients
My intention is to support clients in the process of achieving the goals they have set for themselves. I provide a space that is safe. You will experience being heard, validated and empathy. Our work together will lay the foundation for you to eventually continue on your journey on your own.
Trauma is a fact of life… but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence.
