Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or caught in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional numbness? Many of my clients are high-functioning, self-aware, and used to pushing through—but are ready for a change. Even if you are holding it all together on the outside, anxiety, trauma, or burnout are taking a toll on the inside.
My approach goes beyond symptom management. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns driving your experiences and gently work toward healing them. I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and other practical tools to support both deep emotional processing and real-life change.
I am NIBH registered.
I offer in-person session in Kenora and virtual session for my Manitoba clients. If you are curious if we would be a good fit, please reach out for a free 20 minute consultation today.
