Clinical Counselling & Somatic Therapy
Begin Living the Life Your Desire Today!
How can I help you as a Clinical Counsellor?
While I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds with diverse concerns, my specialty is in supporting sensitive and neurodiverse clients of all ages and stages of life, to include prenatal and postnatal. I am a neurodivergent affirming clinical counsellor, incorporating various holistic practices (see below) into sessions to empower clients in meaningful ways. My approach is determined by the clients phase of development, learning, and sensory preferences. I have been exploring Somatic Therapies since I was a child, and professionally since 2011. Below you will find more details around my specialties, modalities I incorporate, and qualifications. I invite you to book a free 15 minute consult to ask me any questions you may have, and ensure I am the right therapist for you at this point on your journey.
