THERAPY THAT SEES YOU
Where safety, understanding,
and real change begin.
TRAUMA THERAPY AND SOMATIC THERAPY IN SQUAMISH, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Why Do I Still
Feel Stuck?
You understand your patterns, but true transformation requires speaking the language of your body.
If you are reading this, you are probably someone who is deeply thoughtful, capable, and self-aware. But somewhere along your journey, you may have learned that it was safer to manage how others perceive you rather than tuning into your own needs. You learned how to adapt and manage. You became the dependable one.
But in becoming the person everyone else needed, you may have lost touch with yourself.
I see this so often, and I want you to know that this disconnection lives in your body, not just your mind. Your nervous system learned to protect you through numbing, disconnecting, or hypervigilance. It is still trying to protect you today—but together,
we can help your body learn that it no longer has to work so hard.
Does this sound familiar?
01
You're scanning for danger even in safe moments
02
Logic doesn't touch your anxiety—you know you're okay, but your body doesn't believe it
03
You disconnect or numb out when things get intense
04
You're managing everyone else's emotions to stay safe
Counselling and Trauma Therapy in Squamish, British Columbia and Online
-
Trauma therapy for adults and adolescents carrying the impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences, whether that is a specific event, a pattern that keeps repeating, or a sense of feeling stuck. Sessions are offered in person in Squamish or online.
-
Somatic therapy for adults and adolescents whose experiences have not fully resolved through talking alone, and continue to live in the body. Sessions are experiential, gently following breath, sensation, and the body's responses as they happen in the moment. We move at a pace that feels manageable, working alongside talk therapy to help process what the body remembers, even when words alone have not been enough to reach it. Sessions are offered in-person and online
-
EMDR is a structured approach that helps the nervous system process distressing memories that feel stuck or unresolved. I am currently completing training in EMDR under supervision. I am not yet integrating EMDR into client sessions, and will update this page once that training is complete.

My Approach
Somatic
Our bodies are always communicating with us. In our somatic therapy sessions together, I invite attention to what is happening internally, exploring sensation, posture, and impulses as entry points into understanding what the nervous system may be holding that isn’t yet in conscious awareness.
Parts Work
I believe we can hold multiple emotions and experiences at once. In parts work therapy, these inner experiences are often understood as “parts.” Together we explore our relationship with these parts and the roles they carry, supporting trauma and attachment healing from the inside out.
Relational
Therapy is not something that happens in isolation. It’s a relationship between two nervous systems continually sensing and responding to one another. In our work together, we pay attention to what unfolds between us as a pathway toward safety, trust, and connection. A core part of attachment-focused trauma therapy.
I help people get unstuck from patterns that talk therapy alone didn't shift.

Healing trauma is not about learning to navigate the world outside, it's about learning to navigate the world within.
