I work with individual adults who are experiencing mental health issues, trauma (including first responders/veterans), dissociative disorders, sexual abuse, phobias, negative self-esteem, family of origin issues, work issues, and relationship issues. Many of us silently cope with difficulties in our lives. But you don't have to. People have the capacity to make positive changes in their lives with the right support and guidance. Explore what is holding you back and start improving your quality of life. With support, you will tap into your strengths, find hope, and heal emotional wounds.
I help people work through the issues they are struggling with by listening to them and working with them to create change in their lives. Together, we allow you to process emotions that are causing distress using talk therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT and somatic techniques. We create opportunities for change, boundary setting, & understanding control in your life.
With 15+ years providing therapy, I have witnessed much strength, resilience, and the power people have to change the direction of their lives when supported. You have the ability to make positive changes! Together, we will create your path to healing and living. I invite you to contact me to start your journey of healing.

I use EMDR (see more info on my website) to help process 'stuck' points. I also incorporate CBT (practical tools to change perspective and behaviour), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, all which are routed in an anti-oppression framework.
