As a white settler of Scottish/English descent, I’m humbled to live & work on Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc territory. If you’re a motivated individual balancing many roles who feels stuck - maybe anxiety, trauma, shame, or self-doubt quietly hold you back. Maybe you want to feel lighter, more secure, & connected to yourself again. Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or have been on the path for a while, you’re invited to a compassionate, focused space that honors your unique story and nervous system. I also support children (10+) & youth, offering a safe, compassionate space for their unique healing and growth journeys.
I offer EMDR therapy at a pace that works for you—along with EMDR Intensives for deeper, focused healing or early intervention following recent trauma. My approach blends nervous system work, mindfulness, ACT, and creative therapies to support your unique path toward feeling more grounded, resilient, and whole.
Healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming—you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or ready for something different, I’d be honoured to connect. Let’s find a path forward that feels safe, supportive, and right for you.

If you're facing anxiety, trauma, shame, or grief, we'll create a plan that fits you. Along with regular sessions, I offer focused EMDR Intensives - deep, compassionate work that helps soothe and settle your nervous system for faster healing. Early intervention can ease distress before it grows. Many find greater calm, connection, and strength as they heal.

In our first session, we'll talk about what's bringing you in and what you're hoping for. I use EMDR, along with other approaches, to support your goals and help calm and regulate your nervous system. It's all about working with your brain's natural ability to heal - in a space that feels safe, supportive, and just right for you.
