Do you often feel misunderstood, or wish that you were more able to show up to others with more ease and confidence? Do you have good intentions, but in the moment get stuck in an old pattern of reaction or avoidance? Perhaps your life is at a crossroads that is requiring action and you need an honest, open and genuine witness to help guide you through this transition. Or, maybe you have been repeating the same behaviours and relational patterns for years, and are tired of getting the same results. During these moments, it is normal to feel a bit lost – even paralyzed! It's really hard to be on your own with all of this overwhelm.

No waitlist. We get stuck sometimes, whether, through habit or circumstances, emotional, mental, and physical. Sometimes these thoughts become patterns and we need to work through what's going on. I think a person needs to release these thoughts in our heads. We store them up and at other times we listen to things in our heads over and over again and don't speak out about what is going on. We are busy at work and get stuck on personal issues that don't get resolved as we can get so immersed in maintaining deadlines and work ethos and expectations. It can impact our personal relationships and family lives.

I am drawn towards working with clients who are navigating major life changes, as these "turning points" can be both incredibly difficult yet rewarding. Changes in employment, relationship status, or the loss of a loved one can lead to feelings of grief, loss and tremendous anxiety about the future. Even when we are embracing a wanted change it can sometimes feel daunting and overwhelming to embark on something new. It can be hard to feel confident moving forward when we are unsure of the best path or how to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.

I want to understand who you are and unpack the contents of your mind with you.

Whether you're feeling anxious, jaded, overwhelmed, empty, frozen, or feel your experiences are embarrassing or shameful, I believe you are worthy and deserving of being met with acceptance, care and connection.

I work with post-trauma injuries that are accumulated over time. My specialty is treating post-trauma injuries (PTSD) that are accumulated over multiple incidents seen within first responder populations such as police, RCMP, Canadian Forces and health care professionals. I also work with survivors of childhood trauma. If you are experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, agoraphobia, hyper-vigilance, intrusive thoughts or images, I use EMDR to treat these symptoms. Sometimes, my clients need a safe place to understand what has happened to them. If that's you I am here to listen.
