Psychotherapist | Co-regulated daily by my Basset Hound & Amazon Parrot | Mindfulness is their superpower, video games are mine | Exploring the unexpected ways we heal through curiosity, intentional awareness, and self-acceptance.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma- whether childhood or as an adult -and help untangle the effects on your life. Using my training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy (SE), the mind-body connection and building actual skills that will change your life is my focus!
I understand the difficulties that can come from a disconnection between the mind & body. After being diagnosed with a chronic illness, I dove into research & took a position in a lab at the UofA. Our brains are incredibly complex, capable of amazing resilience and healing, and healing in our MIND impacts healing in our BODY! I integrate what I learned from research and help clients “bio hack” their own autonomic nervous system and restore homeostasis. Whether it’s chronic stress, childhood trauma, or significant life events, our nervous systems can get stuck and need some help healing and regulating properly again.
I truly believe YOU are the expert of you, and I work hard to hear your experience as you’ve lived it and help you achieve your goals and live the life you want!
