CONFIDENTIAL, COMPASSIONATE, SKILLED...My clients are curious, brave and ready to evolve, even if they're not quite sure what that looks like yet. They are looking to access the underlying roots of present day triggers, to live authentically in a world that promotes quick fix solutions and unending busyness. Meaningful growth commands us to slow down, pay attention, inquire within, and be (not do). Individuals that connect with me are ready for something different, something deeper. They are ready to develop a more compassionate relationship to the parts of self that are calling for attention. They are ready to thrive.

Please note, as of September 15, 2023 I have moved to Suite 502, 933 17th Ave. S.W., Calgary AB T2T 5R6. Relationships have different seasons and cycles. Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

Welcome to Sunburst Counselling. What is trauma? Trauma is linked to a memory of an event that sticks within your mind and body. It can result from falling off of a bike, a car accident, sexual assault, other forms of abuse, critical workplace incidents or anything at all that happens to you that was out of your control. Unresolved trauma can result in anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, C-PTSD or chronic pain, all of which can greatly impact your ability to function. When you lose your ability to function, you may experience a decrease in self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence all of which will impact your core sense of self.
