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 Somatic practices, Biofeedback, and various expressive therapies into our sessions. These practices empower you in developing greater connection with your own body wisdom, for greater peace and freedom. How we do this varies, depending on clients age, stage, 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.
Where I work as a Clinical Counsellor?
While I would love to have our sessions on the beach, I offer clinical counselling based out of Vancouver, BC. I am registered with the Canadian Counselling & Psychology Association (CCPA) as a Canadian Clinical Counsellor and BC Clinical Counselling Association (BCACC) as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. If you are looking for sliding scale or free clinical counselling support, I would recommend reaching out to Mamas for Mamas or Moving Families Forward Services (MFFS), where I completed my practicum.
