Approach:

My therapeutic approach is integrative, client-centred, and rooted in the understanding that healing is a multidimensional process. I combine somatic practices, EMDR, trauma-informed care, and nutrition coaching to address the interconnectedness of the mind and body. By incorporating plant-based nutrition and wellness strategies, I help clients nourish their bodies, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. I aim to create a safe, empowering space where clients can heal from trauma, release stored emotional and physical tension, and thrive daily.
