My practices evolved over time, but always followed through the line of trauma. I am fortunate enough to have a very formative experience in EMDR, IFS, ACT, and neuroscience to address the needs of my clients. I practice actively in Alberta & British Columbia as a Registered Psychologist and Registered Clinical Counsellor. I believe that to have good mental health, the individual must be treated as the whole person. So, I integrate the mind, body into my practice to help my clients to overcome complex traumas, depression, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and PTSD.
Past experiences & burdens cause the individual to feel the past in the present time. I genuinely believe that the burdened part(s) that carries a load of pain and wounding trauma gets free to feel more aligned using IFS & IFIO. By applying EMDR, I help my client to replace unwanted thoughts, feelings/emotions with healthier ones to create lasting change.
Through my special training in Clinical Hypnosis, I help my clients to get into a more relaxed state of mind to access unconscious memory and accept positive suggestions. Join me on the journey to your inner system, your unwanted thoughts, emotions, and feelings and your unconscious memory to get a lasting healthy change in a harmonious mind-body connection.
