Hello there! I am Tracey – a registered therapeutic counsellor, art therapist and somatic therapist – I can help you rise above your challenges, learn to cope with stress and feel more present in the face of worry and overwhelm. I’m super passionate about helping you live your life to the fullest. I’m here to help you connect to your heart-mind-body, to create a life of purpose, to get relief from the daily stressors that threaten to overwhelm you and to find greater peace, joy and happiness within. We all experience painful emotions; its part of the human experience – often we cover up and try to suppress them because it’s so hard to face them. We often pretend they’re not there but if we allow them space to express themselves and rise up into our awareness, eventually they come to the surface and dissipate, allowing us to move on to healthier and happier feelings.
In the end, the solution is to listen to your heart and connect to your body. When we move from our head down into our bodies, we come up with a felt sense, an inner knowing or insight that we know is right. We work with the somatic experience of the story and the present moment experience of what is happening right now. This happens at a subconscious level and working with a therapist helps bring this inner conversation into the forefront so it can be addressed – so we can make changes and transform the way we work with our thoughts and inner impulses. Our life experiences are held in our body and our bodies tell the story of our past. I can help you work with your nervous system to tune into your body and heal on a kinesthetic level through self-expression and creativity. Many of my clients have tried other talk methods of therapy, without resolution of their complaints. However, there is hope – there are other options such as sensory somatic approaches that engage the body – like expressive arts therapy and somatic psychotherapy.
You are in the right place if you are:
- Struggling with your ability to cope with life’s many demands, and feel overwhelmed and stressed
- Have experienced trauma, PTSD, or shock in the past and this prevents you from living fully
- Feeling disconnected from yourself /your body or find yourself in a state of constant activation
- Lacking coping skills to deal with emotional conflicts in the face of anxiety or depression
- Wishing to heal ordeals from childhood experiences that hold you back in the present
- Wanting to resolve emotional conflicts and release limitations to your highest potential
- Wanting to release old patterns or habits that prevent your self-expression and restrict your personal growth
- Learning to be kind to yourself, get clarity on your goals, and understand who you are
- Needing help mending your heart due to grief, loss or bereavement
- Wanting help building skills needed to deal with difficult situations and handling what life throws your way
- Seeking to uncover your own inner wisdom through awareness, attunement and embodiment
I want to see my clients live passionately, laugh more, find balance, celebrate their lives, live more deeply, open up and grow. Most of all, I desire to see them flourish in the face of adversity. This passion of mine should be evident when we get to know each other more!
