From Soul Collective to You

At Soul Collective Counselling, healing begins with something simple yet powerful: knowing that real change happens in safe, human spaces.

Therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re not sure your struggles are ‘big enough’ for counselling. The truth is, you don’t need to hit a breaking point to deserve support. Here, therapy is less about fixing what’s wrong and more about creating space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

The space has been thoughtfully designed with comfort and calm in mind. Soft lighting, natural elements, and grounding textures all work together to help your nervous system settle so you can explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

This is an invitation to come as you are. Whether you’re feeling worn down, disconnected, or simply curious about what might shift with a little support, you’re welcome here.

Come as you are. We can take it from there.

A Grounded, Body Based Approach to Healing

Before starting Soul Collective, I spent years guiding wilderness therapy trips in the backcountry of the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand. Those experiences taught me the importance of feeling safe in both your body and your environment. That way, healing becomes something you can feel, not just something you think about.

Today, I bring that same grounded presence into the therapy room. My approach integrates somatic therapy, evidence-based approaches, and the healing power of nature.

In our sessions, we’ll slow down and tune in to what’s happening for you — your breath, your posture, and the subtle ways your body speaks through tension, emotion, and moments of calm underneath. Healing then becomes a felt experience, not just a conversation.

What Soul Collective Stands For

Soul Collective is therapy designed to feel safe, genuine, and deeply human. It’s a space where honesty, warmth, and connection matter — and where healing is supported by both science and heart.

Born from lived experience and built with intention, this work is:

✔ Safety Comes First – Therapy here isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about creating steadiness and building a sense of safety you can carry with you.
✔ Healing That Feels Human – Warm, honest, and real. A mix of meaningful work and lighthearted moments.
✔ The Space Is Part of the Support – Every detail of the room is designed with comfort and nervous system regulation in mind.
✔ You Don’t Have to Arrive Prepared – No perfect words, no diagnosis, no plan. Just showing up is enough.

Approaches I Integrate

My work is grounded in Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-based approach that supports healing from stress and trauma. SE helps release patterns of fight, flight, or freeze held in the nervous system so your body can return to a natural sense of safety and connection. 

Alongside SE, I often weave in other approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work, Coherence Therapy, and nature-based practices. These offer different ways of exploring your inner experience — whether that means listening with compassion to your “inner parts,” uncovering unconscious patterns, or finding perspective and regulation in nature.

I also draw from a wide range of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Existential Therapy, depending on what best supports you in the moment.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all method, our work together is collaborative and responsive — shaped by what you need, session by session.

I continue to invest in ongoing education and advanced training that deepens my trauma-informed, body-centered approach to therapy. Each program I complete strengthens my ability to hold space with presence, skill, and compassion.

Advanced Somatic Therapy Training for Complex Trauma

Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma Certification – PESI, 43.5 hours

A postgraduate, evidence-based certification focused on somatic approaches to complex trauma. Guided by internationally recognized trauma experts Janina Fisher, Arielle Schwartz, and Abi Blakeslee, this training deepened my clinical understanding of how the body stores and releases trauma. It integrated advanced work in nervous system regulation, attachment repair, and body-based interventions — strengthening my ability to help clients restore safety, connection, and self-trust.

Specialized Training in First Responder Health & Occupational Stress

Occupational Awareness Training for Therapists (Levels 1 & 2) – First Responder Health™

A two-part advanced training designed to expand therapeutic competence with first responders and professionals in high-stress environments. Through in-depth study of emergency worker and firefighter culture, I developed a stronger understanding of the unique pressures, trauma exposure, and emotional toll of these essential roles. This work informs my ability to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors and supports the lived experiences of those on the front lines.

Themes We Often Explore Together

This is a space to look beneath the surface to understand what’s been keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or running on empty. Maybe you’re holding more than you let on. Maybe you’ve outgrown the ways you’ve learned to cope, but aren’t sure what comes next. Here, we start by making sense of it all, gently, at your pace.

• How your nervous system learned to protect you, and what it feels like to move out of constant survival mode
• The roots of burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling like you have to keep it all together
• The pull toward people-pleasing, over-functioning, or losing yourself in responsibility
• What’s happening underneath anxiety, perfectionism, or shutdown — the body’s way of saying “enough”
• How growing up with emotionally immature or unavailable parents shaped your boundaries, your sense of worth, and the way you show up in relationships
• How disconnection, dissociation, or hyper-independence have kept you safe, and what healing beyond them can look like
• What safety can feel like in your body, and how to create more moments of it
• Expanding your capacity for rest, joy, and being truly seen

Healing here is about making sense of where you’ve been so you can finally move toward what’s next.

Wherever you’re starting from, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Healing begins in connection with yourself, with others, and within spaces that help you feel safe enough to breathe and reconnect with yourself.
