“Every person on this earth is full of great possibilities that can be realized through imagination, effort, and perseverance”
― Scott Barry Kaufman

Welcome/Bienvenue! I’m so glad you’re here.

​

Carrying the wounds of trauma, rejection, or abandonment, losing someone you love, the end of

a friendship or relationship can feel like your heart has been torn open— leaving you raw,

numb, or overwhelmed with grief and emptiness. In the midst of that pain, it’s easy to feel

invisible, unworthy, or completely alone. But your hurt is real, your feelings matter, and you

don’t have to face this darkness by yourself. My passion is creating a safe, supportive space

where you can freely explore your experiences and the emotional impact they’ve had on your

life.

​

Who I support

I enjoy supporting adults (18+), first responders (e.g., RCMP, fire rescue services, paramedics,

etc.), public safety personnel, veterans and members of the Canadian Armed Forces who may be

facing mental health challenges, including, but not limited to, trauma, PTSD, occupational stress

injuries, moral injury, loss and grief and emotional/attachment injuries.

​

How I support you

My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care—meaning every step of our work prioritizes

your safety, autonomy, and pacing. Rather than asking 'What is wrong with you?', we gently

explore 'What happened to you, and how has your system adapted to survive?'

As part of this approach, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

(EMDR), an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess painful or stuck memories.

EMDR allows you to heal from past distress without having to spend months retelling every

detail of the trauma, helping your nervous system finally recognize that the danger has passed.

Together, we will recognize how past experiences can shape how we feel, think, and connect

with others today — often in ways we don’t even realize. We’ll create a safe, trusting space to

explore what you’ve been through with compassion rather than judgment. I see reactions like

shutting down, feeling on edge, or disconnecting, not as flaws, but as ways your system has tried

to keep you safe. In our work, we’ll connect with what the body is trying to tell us, learn gentle

ways to calm your body, and understand your emotions.

Through an Emotionally Focused therapeutic lens, we’ll slow things down, tune into your

emotions, and understand what’s happening underneath — the feelings that sometimes get

missed or come out in ways that don’t feel helpful. By understanding these deeper experiences,

you can begin to recognize your emotional patterns, make sense of your reactions, build

emotional safety, and develop healthier patterns of communication. Many people find that this

helps them build stronger, more secure connections with themselves and their loved ones.​
