Somatic Clinical Counselling

Reconnect With Yourself & Shift the Patterns That Kept You Stuck

You can be completely capable (even the go-to person) and very self-aware, yet still feel completely exhausted and disconnected with yourself. This is a very common pattern I see in many highly sensitive and Neurodivergent individuals - I too struggled with in my younger years. Often this pattern of overriding yourself is learned in early years, leading to people pleasing, Adaptive Masking™, perfectionism, and continuously over-ridding your body, until chronic pain, illness, or burnout.

Welcome to this space where those survival patterns can soften.

Through a Neuroaffirming and Somatic lens, I help clients understand what led to this disconnection by attuning to the subconscious patterns alive in your body. Through a compassionate and nervous system-informed lens, clients build capacity and Embodied Safety™ to experience greater ease, clarity, self-trust, and connection within themselves.

How can I help you as a Clinical Counsellor?

I support sensitive and Neurodivergent clients at all stages of life, including many experienced therapists. We work together to understand the conscious and subconscious patterns, their effects on your life, and support unwinding those to empower you to create meaningful change.

I have been exploring Somatic Therapies since I was a child, and professionally since 2011. Below you will find details about my specialties, modalities, and qualifications. I am currently offering clinical counselling virtually, based out of Vancouver. I work with clients across Canada as a Canadian Clinical Counsellor (CCC) & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). You are welcome to book a consult.

I look forward to connecting with you,
