Life is complex, and emotional pain is unavoidable. As your therapist, I am here to support you in navigating these complexities. While occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety, and occasional conflicts, are normal, overwhelming or persistent emotional pain may signal deeper issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management issues, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate that we might need to do more inner work to heal. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of our problems, offering insights into why we experience difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively

Specialized in trauma processing (EMDR & EMDR 2.0).
- I work with clients (ages 14+) who've experienced trauma, which often comes with depression, anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD, low self-worth, chronic pain, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and other presentations.
- I also work with cumulative trauma (as seen in first responders, nurses, doctors, and 911 employees), in addition to medical and birth trauma.
How we reach your goals: I spend the first few sessions hearing your issues and mapping out a clear EMDR treatment plan with respect to your concerns (if you're looking for EMDR). We also do talk therapy as little or as much as you prefer.

Calling all cycle-breakers, HSPs, or those who dance to their own rhythm—therapy can be a sacred path that leads you back home to your truest nature. It offers intentional space to unlearn & remember who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and identities shaped by the world around you. As an RCC with HSP, I support women-identifying or non-binary adults who may over-extend/function for others & need a space to nurture the Self. I work with life transitions, anxiety/nervous system dysregulation, identity or career shifts, spiritual disconnection, and compassion fatigue, with a focus on women’s empowerment & spirituality.

Most of my clients come to me after years of being bounced around — poked, prodded, dismissed, told their symptoms are stress or in their head. They live with chronic pain, chronic illness, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Long COVID, POTS, or medical trauma, and they're done pushing through flares and pretending to be fine. What they want is someone who actually gets it. I do — I live in a chronic-illness body myself. We work on nervous system regulation, pacing, and everything you're carrying alongside the illness, using Pain Reprocessing Therapy, SSP, CBT, DBT, and somatic work. Online across BC, AB, MB, SK, NL, YT, NT, and NU.

I care about working with each and every client to recognize their unique strengths and struggles, and figure out together what works for them, (even if it means getting creative!)
I believe in steering away from seeing pain as pathology, and instead, being with you in the human experiences that make you who you are, and recognizing the strengths that you already possess. Fundamentally, I understand and work with how trauma impacts the body, and recognize the wisdom of the body in therapy.
