Have you experienced a traumatic event which caused feelings of fear, helplessness or horror; do you find yourself reliving the event or avoiding reminders of the event? Are you easily startled? Do you find that talking about it hasn’t led to the results you're looking for, such as freedom from your symptoms? Are you feeling stuck? Do you find that you are still easily triggered and unable to gain control over your life? When talking isn’t enough, EMDR is often the answer! Treatment includes history taking, assessment, symptom reduction strategies, followed by processing the trauma, & re-evaluation to ensure trauma is cleared.

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor that is trained to work with individuals and groups. I excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills.

* COVID 19 UPDATE * TELEPSYCHOLOGY/Secure online sessions available. I believe therapy can empower us to cope with almost any hurdle with the right support. It starts with trust and listening and transitions to a partnership, exploring techniques toward positive change. Words are powerful, thoughts even more, especially if they impact negatively. In this world of social media it's common for people to isolate themselves and lose the ability to share problems. We can still find comfort and value from face to face interventions towards better well-being. I promote change begins with commitment to "attending therapy", hence the name.
