Camille is a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist and Somatic Movement Specialist providing trauma-informed, socially-conscious therapy. Her practice is informed by anti-oppressive, anti-racist, queer, and feminist values. Camille’s approach is relational, experiential, and embodied, inspired by somatic training, and 39+ years of dance and movement experience. Her practice integrates Cultural Somatics Institute training (Embodied Gatherings and Somatic Abolitionism embodied practice groups), Somatic Experiencing®, Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy™, Body-Mind Centering®, Gestalt Psychotherapy, as well as various Anti-Oppression, Grief, and Crisis Intervention training.

Camille uses an embodied approach to recognize and process signs of stress and trauma, assisting clients to develop the skills necessary to tune in and listen deeply to the answers the body holds. Through somatic explorations Camille helps clients gain insight into behavioural patterns, drawing awareness to how we embody relationships with various environments, institutions, and oppressive systems.

Camille is experienced supporting clients dealing with racial oppression, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, suicidal ideation, self-harm, addictions, life transitions, chronic illness with a focus on breast cancer including physical and neurocognitive disabilities, as well as issues related to gender identity, sexuality, and cultural identity.
