I work with adults and teens with low mood, low motivation, worry, low self-esteem, academic and work stress, family tension, trauma, and more.

Are long term difficulties due to complex and traumatic experiences (often from childhood) making life challenging for you and/or your relationships? Is there an unexplored grief that accompanies these experiences? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression. PTSD, personality disorder (eg., BDP), chronic pain/illness or have dissociation? To add to this complexity are you neurodiverse (eg., ADHD, autism, gifted) or suspect you are? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you are like many of my clients. I offer individual and couples counselling and formal adult psychoeducational, neurodiversity and trauma assessments.

Have you experienced trauma that is negatively impacting your daily life? Are you experiencing performance anxiety, blocks, slumps, Focal Dystonia and/or want to expand performance/creativity? Do you have behaviors associated with craving, temporary relief, and long-term negative consequences that you are unable to stop? Brainspotting locates, targets, processes, and releases trauma in the brain and body, expanding performance and creativity, from the source.
