Trauma Therapy & Specialized Training
I continue to deepen my training in trauma-informed, body-mind therapies and neuroscience. My ongoing learning is influenced by leaders in the field, including:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) (Francine Shapiro)
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy – ART (Laney Rosenzweig)
- Clinical Hypnosis (Karen Day)
- Trauma and neuroscience research (Bessel van der Kolk)
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Pat Ogden)
- Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (Sue Johnson)
- Psychobiological couples therapy (Stan Tatkin)
- Ritual, Ceremony & Teachings with Indigenous Elders of Ojibwe, Cree and Délı̨nę First Nations
- Shamanic Ritual within the Wise Woman Tradition
These approaches help support healing that goes beyond talk therapy alone.
A Holistic & Integrative Approach
My counselling style is eclectic and integrative, meaning I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs. This whole-person approach supports the integration of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, values, body sensations, and behaviours.
These may include:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Attachment-based therapy
- Family systems and relational approaches
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Sensorimotor and somatic therapies
- Schema Therapy
- Sandtray / WorldPlay Therapy
- Psychodynamic and relational therapy
- Narrative and solution-focused therapy
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
