It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support in processing our experiences, thoughts, and emotions and I am honored by the opportunity to walk through this journey with you, reflecting and guiding as appropriate. I believe in a collaborative and strength-based approach based on client's values and goals. Working primarily with adults and teens, I use a variety of modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy to address issues such as
trauma

I have specialized training in Maternal Mental Health, EMDR for
trauma
, CBT for anxiety and mood changes, grief counselling and developmental and connection-based models for parenting and relationship issues.
I specialize in Women's Mental Health and love working with moms. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high two years+ into the pandemic and moms are telling me they're exhausted and overwhelmed. They've been isolated in navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, the birth of children, the NICU and are parenting with few supports and often have kids who are struggling too. They've had to deal with difficult dynamics at work and in their personal lives, are coping with a multitude of losses and are dealing with past or present traumas. Reach out if you can relate and we'll work together to help make life more manageable right now.

I work from a
trauma
-informed perspective and provide a compassionate and nonjudgemental environment to help you heal the wounds that are keeping you stuck.
Why do we make the choices that we do? Life provides unique experiences that affect people in different ways. These experiences contribute positively or negatively to our well-being and guide our life choices and impulses. It is important to honour the good things we have encountered but it is vital to address the challenges that we have faced, especially when they keep us stuck.

I have worked with relationships,
trauma
, mental health and addiction for years.
In life we are often faced with different challenges that we need to navigate through. Sometimes we need a safe place to breath, re-group, and give ourselves permission to look at where we have come, where we are now and where we want to head using the wisdom our past has taught us. Sometimes we find ourselves cycling around the same life problems and we know it is time to change how we are stepping into those relationships either with ourselves or others. Whether you are experiencing difficulty with transitions in life, grief, relationship challenges, mental health concerns, or addiction, I want to help you.

Sometimes finding a solution requires us to change the way we think about a problem instead of attempting to change the behaviors that caused it. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, by empowering clients to rely on their own resilience and strength to explore solutions. I specialize in working with adolescents, families, and adults with concerns involving complex mental health,
trauma
, grief and loss, and behavioral and mood disorders that can cause high risk or impulsive actions. A positive therapeutic relationship is essential to the therapy process. You need to feel safe, supported, and comfortable during therapy.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychological reaction that occurs after an extremely stressful event, such as physical violence or military combat. Those suffering from PTSD have recurring memories of the stressful event and are anxious or scared even in the absence of danger. Flashbacks and nightmares are common symptoms as well.
