Nervous system dysregulation is a common term these days, but what does it mean? I work with individuals who carry the weight of past experiences in how they feel, respond, and move through life. They may struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, numbness, or patterns like people-pleasing and overworking. Some experience trauma responses like panic, dissociation, or feeling stuck, along with physical symptoms like pain or fatigue. These challenges often stem from a single event or ongoing stress. My clients are looking for lasting relief from the patterns and symptoms that keep them stuck.

I specialize in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach to healing trauma and chronic stress. This gentle method supports the nervous system in releasing stored survival energy, restoring balance, and building resilience - helping you feel more grounded, present, and connected in your daily life.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tense, or like talk therapy hasn’t fully helped, you’re not alone. Your body carries wisdom—and with gentle, somatic support, recovery is possible. I offer a welcoming space to reconnect with yourself and move toward a greater sense of ease and stability. If this speaks to you, I warmly invite you to reach out.

I offer in-person sessions on Salt Spring Island and Victoria, BC, and online worldwide.
