Dance / Movement Therapists in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

I’m a trauma-informed coach who supports ADHDers move forward from a space of shame, overwhelm, and people-pleasing to a more grounded connection with themselves and others. In my work, I weave together nervous-system regulation, body-based awareness, and practical tools for communication, boundaries, and executive functioning. I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where I meet you where you’re at, honour your pacing, and support you in exploring small, sustainable shifts that create meaningful change.

Stay rooted deeply in the present moment, allowing your intuition, knowing, and being-ness to shine! These 1.5 hr. Expressive Arts Therapy sessions offer an eclectic approach to therapy. I have created a dynamic toolbox that can meet anyone where they are regardless of what topic you would like to explore. Combining mindfulness, talk therapy, somatic awareness, and creative approaches every session is unique depending on what is most nourishing for you on that specific day.

I believe that healing is a creative and embodied process. As an expressive arts and somatic therapist, I am guided by the understanding that our bodies, emotions, and imaginations hold profound wisdom. In my work, I invite movement, image, sound, and story to help people discover new pathways to resilience, connection, and self-understanding. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I support clients in tuning into the signals of their bodies, exploring their inner landscapes, and expressing what may be difficult to put into words. I see therapy as a space where what has been held can be released, where identity can be reclaimed, and where the nervous system can finally exhale. Whether someone is navigating trauma, stress, transition, or a longing for deeper authenticity, I strive to create a space where their whole being is welcomed. My intention is always to help others reconnect with their innate aliveness, creativity, and capacity for healing.

Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous and rapidly growing cities, with a large and diverse immigrant population — particularly from South Asia, the Philippines, and East Africa — creating strong demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists who understand the pressures of settlement, family expectations, and bicultural identity. The city faces significant challenges around substance use, gang-related trauma, and concentrated poverty in some neighborhoods, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and community mental health serve an important role. Surrey Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, with a growing private therapy community reflecting the city's expanding population. Many Surrey residents access care through the wider Metro Vancouver ecosystem via transit and telehealth.
