I offer an individualized approach to adapting & growing with life challenges. I help people with issues such as: traumatic experiences and loss, relationship issues, anxiety, insomnia, & chronic stress. I love working with people to develop their own internal resources, gain new skills, develop curiosity, insight and clarity, and explore new ways of seeing and being at times of difficulty and transition in their lives. I also have experience providing counselling for other health professionals and first responders. I know how hard it can be to take the time and find ways to care for ourselves.
I have advanced training in a variety of therapies, particularly for processing stressful or traumatic experiences: Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Reconsolidation Therapy for PTSD, Psychedelic Integration, and Focusing. I take a client-centred approach to integrate these approaches for each individual.
It often feels like a big step to reach out and seek help when we need it. It can take a few tries to find a therapist who is the right fit. I offer a complimentary 20-minute online consultation for us to meet and discuss how we might work together before committing to further sessions. In person appointments for new clients are reserved for EMDR Intensives.

The focus of my practice is treating the effects of trauma including PTSD, acute & chronic stress, anxiety & sleep disturbances. I also enjoy working with people during life transitions & with relationship issues. I have learned that preparation is key in effective trauma therapy. We will evaluate together when to move from preparation & resourcing into trauma re-processing & integration.
