Increase your resiliency, capacity, and well-being

I'm an IFS-informed therapist, which is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic modality grounded in the idea that we all have parts, which can be forced into extreme roles due to life experiences. Exploring with these parts can help us heal and reconnect to ourselves. Some parts have intense feelings of shame, doubt, inadequacy, and fear. We avoid these feelings (and their associated parts) with coping strategies varying from socially acceptable ones (working, planning, controlling) to using substances  and other strategies. 

​

I am also informed by Somatic Experiencing, which teaches us that we sense the world with so much more than the stories we tell ourselves. Our meaning-making, which is largely used in psychotherapy, is just one way of processing our experiences. We can also process and explore our sensations, our emotions, imagery, and our behaviour. When we consider all aspects of our human experience we can build - and tolerate - a more nuanced and complex understanding of our experience. ​

​

Many suffering with anxiety or depression reside almost completely in their minds. Somatic therapy strengthens the bodily connection, bringing you to the present moment, and supports the development of everyday coping skills. I offer integrative coaching and therapy sessions, contact me to find out which may be the right fit for you. ​
