Trauma is the response to a distressing event that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope; but ultimately, trauma is an injury to the nervous system. It can leave lasting effects on your body, mind, and relationships. It sways your capacity to engage in, and navigate daily life.

Although you may find yourself going through the motions of daily life following painful events, you might feel “stuck” in the past. This happens because your body doesn’t realize that the event is in the past. Your body responds as though the trauma is still happening.

In sessions with me, you can expect that we work together to create a state of balance and regulation in your body and nervous system. We may also explore the usefulness of your current behaviours and support you in finding calmness and safety.

Have you ever desired to get close to someone but couldn’t? Or maybe you’re tired of falling into the same unhealthy relational dynamics?

Eating disorders such as Bulimia Nervosa, Anorexia Nervorsa, over-exercising, and overeating stem from deep cultural, familial, institutional, relational, or traumatic issues. Eating disorders are adaptive in nature and provide a way to avoid or numb as a survival mechanism. Our relationship with food and exercise is directly correlated with relationships with others and ourselves.

I believe that full eating disorder recovery is possible, and everyone has the power within themselves to find peace and healing. Together we will get to the root of, and process the messages you learned about food and your body, discover the function of your eating, and create a unique pathway to recovery to help you live a life that is free from obsessing about food and body shame.

First and foremost, I believe that anxiety is a normal human emotion that we all experience, and there are reasons we should experience anxiety rather than trying to rid ourselves of it entirely. I help you learn effective coping strategies, but also provide you the space to get curious about your anxiety, learn how to better understand it and what it’s trying to tell you—making way for the ability to work with it and deal with it in a more balanced way.

Most of us will experience grief at some point in our lifetime. Typically, most people associate grief with the death of a loved one or a beloved pet, however, I want to normalize grief as a likely reaction to any loss. This may be in the form of break-ups, job losses, broken dreams, moving schools, physical health concerns, or any other major life transition.

All grief has one thing in common: it hurts, and it often feels unbearable. Real talk: grief is not easy, and it’s even harder on your own.

Processing grief and loss is unique to each person. Whatever your grief looks like, your process of grief is valuable and real. I’d be honoured to accompany and support you in making sense of your feelings.
