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 work with adults whose bodies aren't cooperating — chronic pain, chronic illness, medical trauma. I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and the Safe and Sound Protocol, combining those with CBT, DBT, and pacing. Individual sessions, therapy-integrated SSP, and self-paced resources if weekly isn't doable.
If you've been told your symptoms are stress, in your head, or just something you have to live with — and that hasn't been true for you — I'd like to hear from you. I live with chronic illness myself, so you don't have to translate. Free 20-minute consultation; we'll figure out together if this is a fit. No pressure, no workbooks, just a conversation.

I work with clients who may be struggling with chronic pain, illness, or trauma. During our initial sessions, we will look at the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter. We are registered with ICBC, CVAP, and FNHA
