Trauma Focused Therapists in Saskatoon, SK
Do you feel like you are not enough? Have past experiences shaped the way you feel about yourself for the worse? Are you struggling with feelings of being flawed or worthless? Sometimes our baggage and shame can lead to anxiety, unwanted anger, low-self esteem, and depression. We can find ourselves making mistakes in our relationships, enduring mistreatment and abuse. Changing these patterns starts by finding compassion for yourself. With that compassion we can release the shame and heal from trauma, then we have the freedom to figure out who really are.

At the heart of my practice lies a simple truth: we are all travelers on life's journey, carrying the weight of our struggles. Despite our unique experiences, we are united by the shared threads of our humanity—pain, grief, and growth—each with the potential for a story of hope. I am passionate about supporting adults through challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, ptsd, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work is especially close to my heart when helping those who are navigating the sometimes complex world of co-parenting, as I’ve walked this road myself.

Has the stress of infertility or pregnancy loss affected your mental health or relationship with your partner? Are you feeling isolated and like nobody truly understands what you're going through? Or perhaps you are struggling with being the caregiver of someone who is elderly or has special needs. Maybe you, yourself, are struggling with the stress of declining health, life transitions, or a new medical diagnosis, or a history of trauma. I practice from a trauma informed lens and I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which has proven to be very effective for trauma treatment.

I specialize in working with adults and young adults, particularly those in or allied with the 2SLGBTQ+ community, navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. I understand the challenges of moving through a heteronormative, neurotypical world that wasn’t built for queer or neurodivergent minds.
Queer and neurodivergent individuals often learn to adapt and survive within families, social structures and religious spaces, that weren’t designed to support them. If you feel stuck in old survival patterns and are ready to break free, heal, and grow into your most authentic self, I’m here to guide and support you.
