I offer services to children 3+, teens, young adults, and adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional regulation, grief and loss, and trauma. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and can include faith based practice upon request.

I work from a therapeutic framework of trauma-informed cognitive behavioural therapy, using a person centered blend drawing on foundational interventions (mindfulness, EFT).
With over 6 years experience in providing mental health treatment, including an internship with Dig a Little Deeper and experience with the provincial group home program, I provide compassionate care for adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions. We spend each and every day in our bodies and minds, and I believe in the limitless growth that accompanies deep self-reflection and exploration of who we really are. I strive towards encouraging a lifestyle that inspires compassionate self-acceptance with room for growth.

I am certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy and experienced in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Relationships are rewarding, but also challenge us in deeply complex ways. Attending Emotion-Focused Therapy can help to address painful emotions, identify patterns that keep you "stuck", and to gain awareness of your needs. EFT can help you to attain a deeper level of connection internally and with others. My therapeutic approach is ideal if your goal is to look at what may be holding you back in your close relationships. I work most often with individuals struggling in their relationship, betrayal trauma, and parenting conflicts. I aim to create a warm, caring space that allows you to safely explore and improve your relationship.

Some of the evidence-based therapeutic modalities I pull from include: DBT, EFT, Narrative, Mindfulness Based CBT, ACT, Gottman, Mindful Self-Compassion, Biopsychosocial, Somatic, & many others!.
If you're waiting for a sign, this is it. I'm so glad you're here! The human experience is HARD. Unresolved grief and trauma can leave us feeling disconnected from our true selves and stuck in a cycle of shame. I focus on meeting clients where they are at and providing a collaborative, safe space to allow you to say things you haven't been able to express before, and support you in figuring out how to live a more authentic, fulfilling life, while processing how your past has shaped and impacted you in many ways- but does not define you or your future!

When we are unable to honour our true selves or make sense of our experiences this can create a high degree of distress and discomfort. This can be caused by a number of different life events such as trauma, abuse & other developmental or situational life changes. In my practice I support my clients in exploring the impact of these events & work towards creating a vision of their future; one in which they feel safe, grounded and can flourish. I have strong knowledge of attachment theory, trauma informed as well as grief and loss practice, & work from a strength based perspective in order to foster growth & resilience.

Currently taking female/female-identifying clients only. Often, what gets in the way of having a meaningful, fulfilling life can be unresolved internal barriers that we might not even be aware of. Relational psychotherapy provides a place where we can explore these patterns, beliefs, and narratives, begin to author a new story, foster new awareness, and equip ourselves with a new set of tools. Ultimately, psychotherapy creates a space for the transformation we are yearning for. Using a number of integrative approaches, I help clients move closer to their potential - freeing them from unhelpful narratives and behaviours.

Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
