I have always been interested in people and their stories for as long as I can remember. This journey led me to an undergraduate degree in Psychology and then on to a Master of Social Work. Through my schooling, I had the privilege of working with a variety of people, from young children in group homes in need of specialized services and in foster care homes to teens in a wilderness therapy environment who were there to overcome substance use. In 2019 I began working within a Friendship Centre providing substance use counselling to the community members coming in. It was here that I gained a deeper understanding and passion for working with adults who have experienced trauma in their lives. 

Over the ten years I have been in the human services field I have trained in a variety of modalities that have not only shaped the way in which I work with people, but the way in which I view myself and the world. Two trauma-informed modalities that create the foundation  for the therapeutic work I do are Relational Psychotherapy and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. By providing a gentle and curious environment, I use the therapeutic relationship to explore and support you in looking past the symptoms you may be experiencing to discover your authentic self. In Sensorimotor Psychotherapy we use the wisdom of the body to heal through a variety of interventions and skills that we work through in our sessions. 

If you are curious about this work, would like to hear more about how we would work together, or discuss if we would be a good fit for you, I offer free 20 minute consultations over the phone.
