The Align Within Wellness Therapeutic Approach

holistic mind-body therapy

This work isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about coming home to yourself. And I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • You’re driven, self-aware, and committed to growth—but anxiety, self-doubt, or perfectionism keep holding you back.

  • You’re in the middle of a big life transition—career shifts, breakups, or major decisions—and you want to navigate it with clarity and confidence.

  • You’ve tried traditional talk therapy, but something still feels missing. You’re craving a more holistic, body-based approach.

  • You feel disconnected from yourself and want to rebuild self-trust, inner peace, and alignment.

If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place.

What You Might Be Struggling With

  • Feeling stuck in your own head—overthinking, self-doubt, and analysis paralysis.

  • Chronic stress, burnout, and a nervous system that feels ‘on edge.’

  • Difficulty setting boundaries, navigating people-pleasing, and struggling with self-worth.

  • Feeling out of touch with your intuition and inner wisdom.

  • Emotional overwhelm—grief, anger, or big life changes that feel hard to process.

  • Healing from the past but unsure how to integrate it into your daily life.

What’s Possible for You

  • More time spent in a regulated nervous system and a deeper sense of inner peace.

  • Greater confidence in your choices and a stronger connection to self-trust.

  • Tools to break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-sabotage.

  • Emotional resilience—learning to feel without being consumed by emotions.

  • A more embodied, intuitive relationship with yourself.

  • A sense of empowerment to create a life that actually feels good to live.

You're not just meant to get by—you’re meant to feel at home within yourself. If you're ready for that, I’m here to support you.

here’s my APPROACH

I integrate therapy, somatics, and breathwork to create a deeply attuned, holistic healing experience. My approach is:

Trauma-informed – Prioritizing safety and consent.

Body-centered – Using breath, movement, and somatic practices to process emotions, not just talk about them.

Empowering – Helping you build discernment, self-trust, and confidence in their choices.

Practical & Transformational – Merging evidence-based approaches like CBT, IFS, and EFT tapping with intuitive, energetic practices.

Relatable & Real – No “just think positive” stuff—deep healing with a grounded approach. Dark humour is welcome here.

LET’S TALK

  • This is a mindfulness-based approach that encourages the acceptance of thoughts and feelings without judgment while committing to actions aligned with values.

    By fostering psychological flexibility and resilience, ACT enables clients to overcome barriers and live authentically.

  • This approach focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours to promote positive change.

    By addressing the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, CBT empowers individuals to cultivate healthier coping mechanisms and develop a more balanced perspective on life's challenges.

  • A goal-oriented approach that emphasizes identifying and amplifying strengths and resources to create positive change.

    By focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems, this approach empowers clients to envision a future aligned with their goals and aspirations, fostering a sense possibility.

  • A gentle yet powerful means of cultivating kindness and acceptance towards oneself.

    Through mindfulness, meditation, and compassionate self-inquiry, we can learn to soothe their inner critic, nurture a sense of inner warmth, and embrace our inherent worthiness with compassion.

  • Explore and process deeply held emotions within a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.

    By validating and attending to emotional experiences, this approach promotes emotional awareness, insight, and healing, fostering deeper connections with oneself and others.

Growth is not a loud public spectacle – oftentimes it’s a quiet, deeply impactful, personal process. The work happens internally, and the results radiate outward.
