Your therapist will help you navigate challenging cognitions (deep-rooted negative beliefs and automatic thoughts), emotional pains, and behavioural concerns. This is often referred to as a person's "learned patterns." Sometime what we were exposed to for years (example in childhood) leaves an imprint in the brain known as a schema that was adaptive (helpful) at one point but has become maladaptive (unhelpful) at a later point in life. Working through our schemas and patterns are important for learning about which part of us is authentic vs what parts of us are inauthentic.

I’m a trauma psychotherapist and doctoral candidate specializing in complex and acute trauma (C-PTSD, PTSD). My work is grounded in neuroscience and integrates Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), NARM®, Somatic Experiencing®, and trauma-informed neurofeedback. I focus on helping individuals heal from early attachment wounds, identity fragmentation, and moral injury. With a blend of psychodynamic understanding and sensorimotor precision, I support clients in moving from survival states into authentic, embodied living. I love teaching and leading groups!

I look forward to meeting you and hopefully connecting with you in one of my supervision groups!
