Does it feel like your past is constantly interrupting your present? Whether it’s the heavy weight of depression, the persistent "buzz" of anxiety, or the lingering echoes of trauma, these experiences can make life feel like a series of obstacles to survive rather than a life to be lived. In my practice, I help individuals move beyond "just coping." I specialize in the intersection of trauma, anxiety, and depression—where traditional talk therapy often reaches its limit.

Every individual I have the opportunity to meet carries with them a collection of unique experiences, thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. As humans, we all have periods in our lives when we think, “things are not how they should or ought to be” and this may lead us to a place where we may not be feeling like ourselves. I genuinely believe that you, as a client, are the expert at your own life, but sometimes, even experts can use a little fine tuning- this is one of the functions of therapy! I promise to provide you with the highest quality service that is tailored to your specific needs.

I use EMDR, Hypnosis, IFS + most recently, Coherence Therapy... transformational change therapies for better physical, emotional + psychological health + wellness. With EMDR, you focus on a trigger or trauma paired with bilateral stimulation (eye movement/tapping/tones), leading to a reduction in the vividness + emotion associated with the incident. Through root change, your thoughts, behaviours, feelings, traumas or environmental triggers are reduced or eliminated, increasing your sense of wellbeing, alleviating feelings of stress, expanding your narrative + working through any recent crises, past traumas or maladaptive schemas.
