Safe & Effective 
EMDR Therapy
for Adults & Teens 

Compassionate, collaborative, down-to-earth counselling in a private, welcoming space where you are safe to share your story, even the messy parts, knowing that you and your resiliency will be honoured.    ​​

​

I am passionate about helping adults and teen strengthen their skills for managing life’s transitions with greater ease.  ​At the heart of my work, is a belief that everyone has the innate ability to emotionally heal.  I provide the structure, and support to do so safely.​

​

I work individually with adults and teens using EMDR therapy, Gottman Relationship Skills, Attachment Based Parenting to heal from trauma, PTSD, grief, anxiety, and depression and build skills for improved communication & managing conflict with their partner, and strengthening their connection and reducing challenging behavior with their children.  Together, we can develop skills to manage stress, reduce burnout, and navigate life's transitions.  ​​​​​​​​​​

​EMDR provides a safe, structured approach to allow your mind to reprocess past difficult events, to let go of the distress, and to shift negative held beliefs to ones that are more positive and resilient.  EMDR is one of the most effective and efficient way to heal from past trauma.  EMDR can help build your confidence and skills for managing current day challenges and future worries.  Once trauma is reprocessed, and you no longer believe a negative belief to be true, it just doesn’t get triggered. This means it no longer causes distress & frees up emotional space for you to explore building skills for the life you truly want to live.
