Psychotherapy Provider (Registered Social Worker)
I believe meaningful therapy begins with understanding the story. Every person brings a unique set of life experiences, relationships, strengths, and challenges, and these all shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences, understand how they continue to affect you today, and support lasting change.
I am a Registered Social Worker and EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist providing psychotherapy to adults. I work with individuals experiencing complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, attachment and relationship difficulties, first responder and workplace trauma, life transitions, and the lasting impact of adverse or overwhelming experiences.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in current neuroscience, attachment theory, and evidence-based practice. I believe therapy should be tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we will explore the experiences that have shaped your nervous system, identify patterns that may no longer be serving you, and work toward helping your brain and body process and integrate those experiences.
EMDR therapy is one of my primary areas of specialization. As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, I have completed advanced training, consultation, and demonstrated competency beyond basic EMDR training standards. I integrate EMDR with attachment-focused interventions, ego state work, and other evidence-informed therapies to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Clients often describe me as genuine, approachable, and easy to connect with. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel understood, respected, and appropriately challenged as we work together toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.
Whether you are navigating the effects of trauma, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey.
