CLAY
Like clay, we are shaped in infinite ways — imprinted by the seasons, gifts, and challenges of our lives.
​
Somatic integrative counselling honours this living process. It welcomes the whole of you — body, heart, mind, and spirit — into dialogue and restoration. Together, we work to reclaim the innate intelligence and adaptability that live within you, so that healing becomes not a return to what was, but a deep remembering of what is possible.
is Potential.
Earth shaped into infinite creation.
​​​
is Wisdom.
Carrying stories & memories through time.
​
​is Strength.
Holding that which is placed within its vessel.
​
​is Vulnerability.
Becoming, breaking, & beginning again & again.

I offer personalized counselling grounded in safety, empathy, and co-regulation. My holistic and flexible approach integrates somatic, cognitive, and mindfulness-based practices to support your body, mind, and spirit as they are in each moment. In our work together, my intention is to be warm, present, and honest—offering both compassion and gentle challenge in service of your growth and wholeness. I strive to honour the natural timing and intelligence within you, supporting your process with curiosity, care, and respect for your own pace of growth.
Services
Individual Counselling
Individual therapy sessions are designed to address your specific concerns and help you navigate life's challenges. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, we aim to empower you to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life.
Couples Counselling
Couples therapy focuses on enhancing communication, building trust, and strengthening relationships. We provide a neutral and supportive environment for couples to address conflicts, improve intimacy, and foster a deeper connection.
My Approach
Somatic
Your body and nervous system are deeply intelligent. My approach works in relationship with this innate wisdom—creating space and offering practices that invite regulation, awareness, and connection. Sessions are paced with sensitivity, allowing your system to integrate change in ways that feel grounded, safe, and sustainable.
Empathic
At the heart of my work is a genuine respect for your experience. I listen not only to your words, but to the subtler cues of emotion, tone, and rhythm that reveal how your story lives in you. My presence is warm and attuned, offering empathy that meets you where you are while gently supporting movement toward where you wish to go.
Strategic
Insight and awareness are powerful when they’re integrated into daily life. Together, we identify practical tools, structures, and perspectives that help you translate growth into meaningful action. My strategic lens helps you recognize patterns, build new responses, and move toward your goals with clarity and self-trust—always in alignment with your values and capacity.
