Hi and welcome!
I am a queer and nonbinary Registered Clinical Counsellor and settler on Lekwungen Territory and I offer anti-oppressive and evidence-based support for PTSD and complex trauma recovery with a focus on EMDR. I also support Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ experiences, relationships, grief, workplace trauma, neurodivergence, phobias, addiction, and more.
EMDR is the most efficient route to trauma recovery, plus, you get to choose how much to disclose to me. Together, we can build your confidence to process emotions in an empowering way, connect to your intuition more deeply, and make space for you to live more authentically.
My approach is rooted in neuroscience and Indigenous ways of knowing. I offer PTSD and complex trauma recovery using EMDR, compassion-focused, relational, somatic, emotion-focused therapy and ego-state therapy (IFS and Gestalt). Feminist practice means we include feedback, options, and consent in every session so that you stay in control of your health.
Let's meet for a free consultation so that we can explore fit. Feel free to contact me with questions or you can also book directly through my website. I look forward to meeting you!
