I DO NOT OFFER REFERRALS TO OTHER PRACTITIONERS.

As a Jungian Psychoanalyst (IAAP), a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and a somatic coach, I blend the profound depths of Jungian psychology with a rich tapestry of somatic understanding to guide individuals through the complex terrains of existence. With over two decades steeped in the practices of somatic and movement therapies, I honour the intricate dance between the corporeal and the psyche, facilitating the journey toward rediscovering vitality, hope, and a deeper relationship with Self.

My journey is illuminated by my lifelong commitment to living more consciously and my ongoing personal psychoanalysis, grounding my commitment to the transformative odyssey of my clients. Nurturing an ethos of collaborative exploration, I walk alongside individuals as they navigate the labyrinthine landscapes of their inner worlds. Celebrating the unique essence of each person's path, I cultivate a climate of curiosity, creativity, self-compassion and possibility, inviting them to embark on the sacred journey of self-discovery with courage and authenticity.

At different times in our lives, we all long to fall back in love with being alive and to find deeper meaning.

In our 50-minute sessions, we embark on a journey that intertwines various practices artfully aligned with your individual path. Rooted in Jungian theory, our exploration encompasses talk therapy, embodied dream analysis, somatic symbolism, and intuitive movement imbued with symbolic significance. Through the vehicle of embodied active imagination, we venture into the depths of your unconscious, unlocking the latent wisdom that resides therein, thereby forging a profound connection with both the outer world and the intricate realms of your psyche.

Moreover, my proficiency extends to discerning the intricate interplay between trauma and the corporeal form, recognizing its impact on our vitality and innate capacity for wholeness. Guided by Jungian temenos, I shed light on the manifold ways in which trauma shapes the psyche, facilitating a path towards more aliveness and integration.

I’m a firm believer in the unique strength and vitality that each of us carries within ourselves that’s waiting to be discovered and mobilized in pursuit of more meaningful and bountiful lives.

As a mindful movement and somatic coach and educator since 2001, I’ve worked with people with diverse physical, spiritual and mental health challenges, including people who just feel stuck and many who are living with chronic physical or emotional pain. I’ve also found a beautiful crossover of embodiment practices into people’s professional lives, and have helped clients find stronger voices, more confidence in their careers and new possibilities for pursuing their lifelong dreams. I welcome clients from all genders, sexual orientations, family structures, religions, racial and cultural contexts and work with a client-focused approach with the belief that trust is earned over time from a place of deep respect for each person’s life experiences and specific needs.

What to expect when you work with me.

• Embodied talk therapy: Exploration of your personal history to help you understand your struggles now. Understanding the impact your past has on your present will naturally emerge in our work together. Even while talking, I practice in a way that never leaves awareness of the body out of the process.

• Dream analysis: Using the technique of Jungian dream analysis while harnessing a somatic orientation, we can explore how your unconscious psyche is trying to support the process of you coming into wholeness and bringing you closer to your Self.

• Somatic awareness: If you’re pulled to understanding how your body is constantly communicating your feelings, repressed memories, deeper wisdom and intuition, we can explore this together in analysis and help you carry this into your daily life. Through increased somatic acuity, you will be able to access more of your unconscious and bring your moment-to-moment inner workings into awareness. This can result in a greater ability to consciously navigate traumatic stress or triggers, support emotional resilience and gradually disarm the survival strategies that are no longer beneficial in present day.

• Intuitive movement: Through safe connection and boundary-setting, my clients often feel more capable of exploring broader dimensions of movement, which allow them to awaken new aspects of themselves that may have been lying dormant or are yet to be discovered—often helping them to be braver in their professional, personal and therapeutic relationships. Through music, intuitive movement and embodied contemplative practices, clients experience connection with their deeper and most authentic Self.

• Expressive arts: If you’re interested, we can access my abundant art supplies to help you express and explore your emotional parts and to deepen your relationship with your symbolic life. We can also harness the power of music to access and activate aspects of your embodied experience and your unconscious psyche.
