A trauma-informed, integrative and embodied approach
My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens through compassionate relationship, curiosity and connection with ourselves. I draw from counselling foundations, trauma-informed care, somatic awareness and expressive arts practices to support exploration, healing and growth.
How I Work
CREATIVE & EXPRESSIVE ARTS
Using creativity, imagination, movement and symbolism as pathways for expression, insight and integration.
SOMATIC AWARENESS
Exploring the relationship between body sensations, emotions, patterns and lived experience — supporting greater awareness, regulation and choice.
TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICE
Holding space with compassion, curiosity and attention to safety, pacing and the ways our experiences shape how we move through the world.
THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP
Creating a collaborative space where your story is heard, your strengths are honoured and we work together toward what matters most to you.
CONTEXT & CONNECTION
Exploring the relationship between personal experiences and the larger social, cultural and relational worlds we live within. We consider not only “what is happening within us,” but also what has shaped us.
Creative practice can meet people in different ways depending on their needs, intentions and stage of exploration
For some, expressive arts are part of a therapeutic process held within a regulated therapeutic relationship. For others, creativity, movement and embodiment become pathways for learning, connection and artistic exploration outside of therapy.
The same creative languages may be woven through each offering, while the intention, structure and environment shift.
