Neurosomatics

Welcome! I’m a Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Psychotherapist dedicated to improving the lives of individuals facing mental health challenges. I employ a broad range of skills and qualifications to provide comprehensive care to my clients. As an NP, I specialized in primary care and youth mental health for over a decade. Throughout my career, I recognized certain aspects lacking in our conventional medical approaches to mental health and behaviour. These experiences, both personally and professionally, compelled me to explore innovative and evidence based practices. The main modalities I focus on now are biofeedback, neurofeedback, somatic experiencing, and EMDR. I'm also informed by polyvagal theory and internal family systems, and like to incorporate creative art practices when appropriate. Neurofeedback is a powerful technological tool that harnesses the brain's natural ability to learn and heal. This individualized training involves analysis of brain wave patterns and utilizes video feedback to train the brain to function optimally. Through research and clinical experience, we know that Neurofeedback is effective at helping those with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Migraines, Sleep issues, Learning Issues, and Epilepsy. In using this cutting-edge approach, I’ve seen remarkable transformations in myself, my family, and my clients. I also provide Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR therapy which aim to ease symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in survival patterns such as fight, flight or freeze, these approaches help us process, release, recover, and become more resilient. Creating safety and going at a gentle pace are very important aspects of care for me. As we explore, process and navigate the effects of adverse experiences, we can often do so without needing to discuss them explicitly. These integrative methods provide a safe and transformative space for healing and growth. While I'm also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, nervous system regulation and neurodiversity lie at the core of my passions. I firmly believe in supporting the distinctive neurological profiles of each individual as diversity is an essential element of the human experience. I am dedicated to assisting those with sensitive nervous systems in overcoming everyday challenges, cultivating emotional balance, and ultimately enhancing overall well-being. I am excited to embark on this journey with you, providing support, guidance, and evidence-based interventions tailored to your individual needs. Together we will explore the complexities of your mind and body working towards a calmer, focused, and joyful self.
