CONTACT ME IF INTERESTED in  individual or group support, to help regulate the nervous system, heart and mind, specifically around immigration-realted distress.

Utilizing Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, IFS (Internal Family System), heart-focused practices, polyvagal nervous system specific elements, even approaches and techniques from Tibetan Buddhist practices, and more.


And of course, a place to not have to hold your distress alone, a space to share your pain, and even experience some hope, equinimity, and greater space to take wise action.

Immigration, emigration, and other cross-border issues merge the most intense human stressors: they are, or are perceived as life threats at the nervous system level.

  • Massive attachment breaches
  • Disclocation from family
  • Dislocation from spouses
  • Threat to livelihood
  • Dislocation from language and land, ones total environment
  • Culture shock
  • Intergenerational Trauma
  • Survivor Guilt
  • Future insecurity / not knowing what will happen
  • Trauma from experiences with authority, and much more


Coregulating in a 1:1 session can be very powerful, but a group can help in ways individual therapy can't. We evolved healing and surviving trauma both with 1:1 connections, and in groups.


I feel strongly and passionately that groups will be the future for making it through extreme duress. Do not go through these difficulties alone.


Contact me via the email webform. If urgent, text +1-720-805-6980 


As an Anglophone Canadian, I speak English with minimal French; Spanish facilitation may be a possibility, per my clinic staff availability.
