SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

​

Through our bodies, we reveal our patterns - emotional, psychological, relational, spiritual, creative, and in life. 

 

In my own growth and healing, I have explored many different body-based modalities. For reasons I may only ever partially know, my explorations (some from necessity and some from curiosity and desire to learn) have centred so directly on the body. From here, grew a passion to train in these modalities and work with others. 

 

Our bodies are honest. By turning our attention to our direct experience of body, we can learn its language, a way of knowing that is vaster than the bookmarks of attenuated memory. The body connects us to the richness of experience personally, transgenerationally, and collectively.

​

I have been a student of the Hakomi Method since 2022, and bring over 10 years of body-based exploration and training to my somatic sessions with clients.

NEUROBIOLOGY FOR TRAUMA RESOLUTION AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

​

Observed Experiential Integration (OEI) is a neurobiological modality developed by Audrey Cook and Dr. Rick Bradshaw that integrates the visual pathways and both of the brain hemispheres to reduce anxiety and trauma. It incorporates elements of Focusing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Educational Kinesiology to help the brain process traumatic experiences and integrate, allowing information to easily travel through the sensory processors and emotional processors again.

 

I use OEI in combination with the other therapeutic approaches, in addition to as a stand-alone therapy. It is effective with both individuals and couples. OEI has also been applied in the context of high performance coaching, and I offer this to musicians, artists, athletes, bodybuilders and other professionals who would like a neurobiological approach to removing impediments to high performance and success. 

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that works to heal the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. I will be offering EMDR as part of my practice starting in March of 2026. Between Nov 2025 and March 2026, I will be offering sessions to 8-10 clients who would like to work with acute traumas (car crash, natural disasters, accidents etc) at a discounted rate as I train in this modality. Please contact me if you are interested.

ARTS-BASED PSYCHOTHERAPY

​

The Arts are a primal language that allow us to connect in a full-spectrum way with our capacity to heal, make-meaning and grow.

I strive to bring a relational understanding of the creative process to my sessions, which are also informed by my professional practice as a visual artist and the completion of a Masters Degree in EXA (Expressive Arts Therapy), Minor Psychology, from the European Graduate School in Switzerland. It is not necessary for clients to have prior skill or experience in the arts to engage in arts-based sessions.

PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SEX AND INTIMACY COACHING

​​

In many ways, our relationship with our sexual expression and eroticism is connected to our very life vitality. My work with individuals and clients is informed by training in The Erotic Blueprints, somatic psychotherapy and other sexuality practices.

​

I offer sessions for individuals and couples as well as in a group education format. For couples, I find intensives or longer sessions are better to gain traction in this work. Please see below for pricing.

​

If you have any questions, please contact me to schedule a complementary conversation where we can discuss our work together.
