“Nothing changes if nothing changes". Feeling stuck? Needing clarity on a situation or issue? Is there a pattern in your life repeating? A great teacher once said “you are only affected by what you are unaware of”. As a therapist, my role is to be your clear mirror. I am a Compassionate Inquiry (CI) Certified Practitioner with Dr. Gabor Mate (a somatic based trauma processing approach). I am also EMDR & Gottman Couples Therapy trained. I enjoy going deep with my clients; creating the space for transformation. My goal is to be a therapeutic “chess master”, assisting you (with a variety of tools) to see what your soul is seeking.

Do you feel torn? Torn between conflicting desires? Torn between choices, decisions, or paths? Torn between roles, identities, or responsibilities? Torn between lives? Does it sometimes feel like your life is a perpetual paradox that you are trying to make sense of and find balance in? Do you often wonder how all these various elements could be brought into harmony, and if it is even possible? I assure you; it is – you may just need a little help getting there. There are many parts and aspects to a person, and sometimes elements of our lives and even our identities collide.

Distress can be the catalyst for personal growth and meaningful transformation. The journey can take many paths and I would be honoured to join you. We will work collaboratively together and provide guidance toward positive change. We will focus on trust to create a safe and supportive relationship. It is crucial to me that we have a strong relationship in the therapy room, laying the foundation for effective therapy. I find value in understanding how past experiences shape our ways of thinking, relationship patterns, and coping mechanisms. In other times of need, we will focus on the urgent crisis at hand.

I offer professional counselling dedicated to helping women heal from the unconscious wounds of past trauma and/or from present challenges. I specifically treat women because I can most closely identify with their journeys as someone who has worked through my own healing as a trauma survivor. Based on my 15+ years of experience, I have found that I both enjoy and feel called to serve other women in transforming their trauma. It would be my privilege to support you in finding the ease and joy that is your birthright.

INSIGHT & PRACTICE FOR CHANGE: I believe we all have the inherent ability to live a meaningful, satisfying, and connected life. At some point most people will become aware or begin to feel that they are somehow "off course", that "something needs to change" or that something new is desired. This realization is an opportunity to "adjust course", take stock, and intentionally re-align our lives. Sometimes small shifts can make incredible differences; other times we are called to dig deep. Whether you want to make personal, professional or relationship shifts, by reaching out to me you can trust that the change process has already started.

In the early stages of our lives, we learn certain ways of coping and survival. These might have been ways of coping with your parents, or your school, or your peers. These might have been ways of surviving trauma, emotional pain, or injury. These ways were necessary to keep you moving forward. Yet, as we grow up, our environment often changes but our ways of coping and survival do not, and what may have kept us alive in the past may be holding us back now. Often, we find ourselves stuck within unhelpful patterns of thought, or with other people or lovers who reinforce those patterns.
