~ Couples counselling and individual counselling, in-person and online, in Nanaimo, BC, to support trauma recovery, embodiment, and a deeper connection with yourself ~

Regardless of your symptoms and current challenges, you are essentially ‘whole’ as you are. My role as the therapist/counsellor is to support you to slow down, and to facilitate a safe space, so that you can find answers from within.

Primarily working from a Focusing Oriented Therapy model, I provide somatic (body-based) counselling for adults who are ready to explore their depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, and relationship and/or inner child wounding. I like how Focusing works gently with what is in the ‘here and now,’ to access new possibilities. It engages whole brain approaches in clinical practice – using empathy, emotion, attachment theory and relational aspects in psychotherapy.

I am also trained in Music Integrated Therapy, effective for trauma release and connecting the mind and body. I am very comfortable with voice and sound, rhythm, and movement, and trust the body’s intelligence to unpack, and to flow towards well-being.

Trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Couples Therapy, I have enjoyed counselling many couples (opposite and same sex). As a person of colour who has navigated different cultural landscapes across the globe, I also bring with me embodied experiences to support nuances, such as mixed race dynamics, and acculturation gaps.
