Individual
Counselling
We are influenced by our caregivers, our culture and ethnicity from infancy to adulthood. Our values, beliefs and attitudes are internalized in childhood and our reality is subjective. Our projected path and our view of how life is meant to be can feel safe and predictable.

Attachment and Attunement Counselling
Throughout the calendar year I offer Circle of Security Parenting Groups. These groups are experiential as caregivers reflect on their own childhood experience while focusing on how to enhance secure attachment with their children.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology as well am a registered Social Worker; in good standing with both regulatory bodies. I have spent almost three decades working in public health care committed to providing optimal care to those I sit with. I am a passionate clinician whose primary focus over the past fifteen years has been to help clients resolve and heal from their trauma experiences. During my Master’s program I was introduced to Somatic Experiencing Practice, a treatment modality specific to the renegotiation of trauma. Through learning, training, engaging in as well as offering I have found the benefits of Somatic Experiencing, both personally and professionally, to be transformative and life altering.
Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological approach to the healing of trauma, including post traumatic stress disorder, and other stress related conditions. It is grounded in the life’s work of Dr Peter Levine spanning over four decades.
“Trauma originates as a response in the nervous system and does not originate in an event.” Peter Levine
