I support individuals who experience emotional and psychological distress brought on by adverse experiences, anxiety, or relationship challenges. People I work with often disclose beliefs of being a failure/not good enough, feeling unsafe within themselves or with others/the world, and feelings of loneliness. The experiences addressed most often in my virtual office include shame, helplessness, perfectionism, and fear/anxiety. While most of us believe that the only way to feel better is to eliminate discomfort, the most significant gains in therapy come from facilitating a compassionate relationship with our internal experiences.
Generally, the focus will be on building skills to help you respond to distress and exploring possible contributors, such as core beliefs, adverse experiences, automatic thoughts. With EMDR work, our goal would not only be to decrease feelings of distress but also to build a sense of self-worth and self-agency.
Self-growth can be a challenging process with tiny victories along the way. As your therapist I will aim to guide you through it by shining a light on your personal values and goals in order to bring more meaning when challenges arise. If you would like to explore whether we’d be a good fit, I encourage you to book a free 20 minute consultation with me.

I work with clients who experience anxiety/anxiety disorders, shame, trauma, and relationship difficulties. We will focus on (1) building skills to deal with distress and (2) understanding and processing how your past experiences have impacted your sense of self, beliefs, and behaviour. With EMDR the focus is on reprocessing memories/adverse experiences as well as present day triggers/phobias.

I utilize relational therapy, attachment theory, feminist, and EMDR to understand how your nervous system reacts to internal and external triggers. I mainly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build skills to help with responding to triggers/distress in the present as well as making decisions based on values rather than fear.
