What is EMDR? EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an extensively researched and effective psychotherapy method. EMDR therapy has been proven to help people recover from trauma, PTSD symptoms, and has also been shown to be helpful for symptoms and disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed overwhelming and traumatic memories in the brain.

For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies. EMDR therapy does NOT require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviours resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR is a therapy that encourages a client to briefly focus on an overwhelming or trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements). Research shows that bilateral (back and forth) stimulation reduces vividness and emotion associated with the memories.

Not accepting new clients.

Welcome! I’m so glad to see you here.

Life likes to throw curveballs at us unexpectedly, often before we are equipped with the tools to handle them effectively. As we moved through life, we may have learned different ways of coping with problems that we now realize are no longer working or serving us. You are not alone!

Counselling can assist you to un-learn unhelpful patterns and re-learn new skills that empower you to align your life with your values.

I offer individual counselling to adults 18 years and older. I have an interest in supporting individuals to create authentic and meaningful connections with themselves and others. This could include:

  • Addressing family of origin challenges
  • Strengthening intimacy in relationships
  • Unpacking perfectionism and imposter syndrome
  • Overcoming people-pleasing tendencies
  • Managing feelings of shame
  • Navigating bicultural identity integration or any human experience in between

No issue is too big or too small, and we will tackle it as a team.

You will find that my approach to counselling is relational, curious, and non-directive (you always get to lead how we spend our time together).

My work draws from narrative, somatic, attachment, person-centred, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

I also practice through an intersectional and trauma-informed lens as I recognize the detrimental impact of oppressive systems and sociocultural messaging on one’s lived reality and well-being.

If you think we might be a good fit, I would love to hear from you! It would be an honour to walk beside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and change.

I aim to provide counselling that is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive.

Finding the words for an experience or emotion can be difficult, making it hard to accept their impact. Collaborating with a counsellor can help us identify and give a voice to the parts of ourselves we have learned to silence or ignore.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) (#18463) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology.

I offer individual counselling for adults age 18 and above.

I have an interest in using a blend of the Internal Family Systems Approach (IFS) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). I also incorporate evidence-based therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness-based approaches.

My approach to counselling is relational, emphasizing the uniqueness and resilience each person holds. I work to empower people as they discover their capacity for change, reflection, and deeper connection at a pace that honours the individual.

I believe that healing occurs in relationships where the environment is warm, confidential, and non-judgmental.

Whether you are living with grief, trauma, depression, anxiety or relational distress, you are welcome here.
