About Me
I am a Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, registered therapeutic counsellor, and arts-based facilitator based in Yellowknife, NT. I use a mix of top-down (cognitive/behavioural), somatic (body and mindfulness-oriented), and arts-based approaches. I am certified in Somatic Experiencing®, a modality that seeks to resolve trauma that is stored in the body.
I see my work as being to walk alongside you with a mix of cheerleading, deep listening, and inviting inquiry into sometimes challenging places. I am committed to approaching our conversations with curiosity, openness, and non-judgement to activate your strengths and resources, creativity, and insight.
You can expect a process that is:
* Experiential: we won’t just talk about change, we will try things out in session to find out what works.
* Compassionate: You didn't choose this. I’m here to support you to approach yourself with the same kindness and respect that you give to others. (and if the idea of self-compassion makes you want to run away screaming, I’m here for that, too.)
* Values-driven: what matters most to you? Inviting enlivening discussions that bring you closer to your true center while making room for the realities of life.
