IFS / SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Somatic trauma therapy for those seeking meaningful change.
You might be functioning well on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, reactive, or exhausted underneath it all. Maybe you've tried talking about it, understanding it, or managing it on your own. Maybe you know there is a history of trauma, attachment wounds, or neurodivergence—or maybe you simply know that the way you're living isn't working anymore.
I offer online therapy for adults who want to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change through Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and relational therapy.
Compassionate and supportive online therapy for those experiencing emotional reactivity, burnout, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, or other trauma sympatoms. Available to residents of Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Newfoundland.
Maybe you're doing okay. But you're tired of doing okay this way.
Symptoms such as being:
-
constantly on edge, snapping at loved ones
-
stuck in overthinking, rumination, or overwhelm
-
exhausted from trying to cope the “right” way
-
struggling to rest even when exhausted
-
living with or suspecting neurodivergence
-
known or suspect history of trauma, attachment wounding
...don't have to define you or your life.
Your system has adapted to survive. But now, those same patterns can keep you stuck in anxiety, shutdown, or overwhelm. This isn't a personal failure. Trauma-informed care and somatic therapy can help you remember your own power, agency, and ability to be relationship with yourself and others.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about feeling safe enough to choose something different.
A therapy that works with the whole of you.
IFS helps us understand the different parts of you—the part that overthinks, the part that keeps pushing, the part that wants to hide, the part that gets angry or overwhelmed—without treating any of them as the problem.
Somatic Experiencing brings our attention to what's happening in your body and nervous system, helping us work with patterns of activation, shutdown, tension, and overwhelm.
Together, these approaches offer a way to understand yourself without judging yourself—and create change without forcing it.

Land Acknowledgement:
I hold deep gratitude to live and practice on the traditional territory of the Michi Saagig Anishnaabeg, and likely other Indigenous groups, currently held in sacred agreement by Treaty 20 and the Williams Treaties. I have gratitude for ongoing stewardship of this region, elders of past and present, and support for the reclamation of identity, community, and agency stolen in the impact and legacy of colonization - for current and future generations.
