My website

I work with clients with trauma, sports performance issues, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and grief. Treatment methods I use include IFS-informed, Polyvagal theory, CBT, Psychodynamic/attachment therapy, Parts work, and Solution-Focused Talk therapy . For Trauma, I largely use Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) for these clients. Curious? Read on!

I use Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), a new, effective approach to trauma. While EMDR mainly helps with single-event trauma, TIST works for single-event, long-term, repeated, and childhood trauma. It focuses on the mind-body connection and uses simple body tools, education, parts work, & self-compassion, with safety and stability at its core.

I have extensive experience providing therapy to Canadian Forces members and civilians. Through my experiences I've learned, rather than using any single treatment model, people respond best when a blend of therapeutic approaches is used in order to fit each person's individual needs.

I work with clients struggling with issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and chronic illness/pain. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan to address them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
