Great to meet you!

I have experience working with survivors of sexual assault and certified in trauma-informed therapy. This works by using somatic techniques and mindfulness to bring awareness to your body. The approach is a “bottom-up” method, where importance is placed on body sensations that tap into your internal wisdom to find relief.

My approach to therapy

I have experience working with survivors of sexual assault and certified in trauma-informed therapy through The Ferentz Institute. This works by using somatic techniques and mindfulness to bring awareness to your body. The approach is a “bottom-up” method, where importance is placed on body sensations that tap into your internal wisdom to find relief.

What you can expect from me

I give you lots of space to voice your emotions. Active listening and compassion are paramount in each session. Support is offered by validating your feelings and understanding your point of view.
