Individual therapy sessions are designed to help clients navigate a wide range of mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues. I utilize evidence-based treatments such as Somatic Experiencing®, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical  Behavioural Therapy, using a client-centered approach to help clients develop healthy coping skills, promote nervous system regulation, and achieve therapeutic goals.

Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. It focuses on resolving and healing trauma by paying attention to the body's physical sensations and responses. The central idea behind Somatic Experiencing is that trauma is not just psychological; it's also stored in the body. By accessing bodily sensations and allowing the body to complete its natural responses to traumatic events, individuals can release the stored tension and heal from trauma.

SE sessions often involve the therapist guiding the client to become more aware of body sensations, encouraging the tracking of physical experiences without judgment. Techniques such as grounding exercises, breath-work, gentle movement, and mindfulness are used to help clients regulate their nervous systems, and process traumatic experiences in a safe, and controlled manner. SE aims to restore a sense of safety. As well,  build capacity by reconnecting mind/body awareness, and helping to release trauma-related tension.

Teletherapy sessions allow clients to receive quality mental health care from the comfort and convenience of their own home. I utilize a secure and easy-to-use platform to provide clients with a safe and confidential space to work together and discuss concerns.
