“Is this forever?” You might be asking yourself this question when you’re struggling and feeling overwhelmed, especially if you’re recovering from abuse, trauma, or illness. Sometimes we lose track of what we want and need moment-to-moment, believing we need permission to want and need anything at all. It is this sense of being “stuck” that often brings clients to therapy. Having a witness—and a safe place to be witnessed—can support us in moving through and beyond life’s most challenging moments. With awareness of our patterns, automatic responses, and bodily sensations, we can start to feel our way out of that “forever” feeling.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, constantly on edge, having trouble with self-regulation, or reacting in ways that are ineffective, you're not alone and these challenges are real. Maybe you've tried traditional talk therapy and/or medication, and the lingering stress and brain fog still makes everyday life feel exhausting and unmanageable. You want to feel calmer, more in control of your emotions, better focused, equipped to manage stress, and to improve your sleep.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I specialize in a number of "midbrain therapies" that seem to work at a deeper level to move strong sensations and emotions and produce relief (Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Deep Brain Reorienting and Brainspotting). I am also the first Ontario-based trainer of Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
3 years ago I was the first person in Grey-Bruce using ART and now we have over 15 clinicians just in Owen Sound/Grey Bruce alone! I've also taught it at Queen's University in Kingston twice and McMaster in Hamilton and to over 50 clinicians across Ontario, and growing!

Has your child/adolescent experienced divorce/separation, anxiety/OCD, depression, IPV/DV, trauma, grief/loss, suicidal ideation, aggression, or self-esteem issues? Are they having issues with emotional regulation, behaviour challenges, coping skills, problems sleeping/eating or school problems. When children experience difficulties in their lives, they are often unable to express their feelings in traditional talk therapy. My passion lies in working with children & adolescents, supporting their natural capacity for healing, and providing support/consultation with caregivers to strengthen attachments and relationships.

Navigating daily stress, emotional exhaustion, or the lingering impact of painful experiences can leave you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, isolated, and out of words.

Almost everyone will experience grief and loss in their lifetime and while there are no absolute stages of grief and no single way to mourn, every person has a unique experience and response to their loss. We experience loss in many ways – through sudden, unexpected death, miscarriage, infant loss, job loss, the ending of a relationship or through chronic illness, aging, life transitions, end of life planning and anticipating the death of a loved one.

Let's find perspective on what your challenges are. Is it past abuse, family crisis or just a need to be heard and validated regarding your challenges to date?
