Welcome to Therapy Heals! I have worked with adults to process and overcome the far-reaching impacts of trauma on the mind and body. I work with those who have experienced trauma from historical childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships, sexual abuse and sexual assault. Trauma can show up in many ways in the mind and body including anxiety, depression, nightmares, difficulty trusting others, among many other common symptoms. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are trauma focused to support you in processing your experiences and reaching your goals for therapy.

I value the the trust that a client places in me. I safeguard your vulnerability and work at your comfort level. My philosophy of treatment is the use of evidence-based and trauma-informed practices in a strength-based approach. Helping clients become empowered in their own healing, I am trained in TF-CBT, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Structured Intervention Trauma-Child and Adolescent (SIT-CAP). I specialize in trauma treatment, grief and loss, stress, anxiety and mood disorders. Together, we create the vision for what healing will look, feel and become in your life.

Trauma, anxiety, loss of self and identity - these are incredibly painful parts of life that you don't have to face alone. With values deeply rooted in self-compassion and acceptance, I strive to help people reclaim and reconnect to their true Self and return to feeling happy and fulfilled in life. Having worked in the mental health field for over a decade, I apply a wide range of skills and expertise. As a Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have a comprehensive knowledge of psychotherapy and trauma work.

Challenging and traumatic life experiences can leave people feeling stuck, isolated, and disconnected from themselves and the world around them. Anxiety, negative self-talk, flashbacks, dissociation, withdrawal from life, and sleep issues are just some of the ways in which experiences from our past can impact our present. I have spent over 10 years working with people who have been impacted by domestic abuse and intimate partner violence, sexual assault, childhood trauma, and the sudden and traumatic loss of a loved one.

A client who is able to share who they are and their life experience in a safe space with an empathic, respectful and competent therapist can create positive change. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, discouraged or depressed I can help you gain balance and fulfilment. I provide a non-judgmental and accepting environment that will invite you to explore your unique situation and help you change feelings and behaviors that may be preventing you from living your life to the fullest. As a therapist, my goal is to listen respectfully and be attuned to both your challenges and strengths.

Hoping to understand your anxiety, while also developing tools and strategies to manage it on the day-to-day? Or maybe you’re here because sex isn’t what you were told it would be like.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children, youth, and adults. When working with young children, I will incorporate play techniques to help them feel more comfortable and open during the counselling. I also work with parents and I love to work with adults individually as well.

I work transparently with clients and practice with a non-judgmental approach.

We provide counselling for children, teens and adults. We understand that life can be layered and complicated, and sometimes it's helpful to have some guidance and support along the way.

We work with clients and families to understand and overcome challenges, using effective counselling interventions to achieve lasting and meaningful change.

Are you seeking support to get to the root of of it all and want to show up for yourself in the face of pain, stuckness, loss/grief, challenging relationships, transitions and trauma? Noticing negative patterns/symptoms? I get how hard it is to challenge every negative thought. Feeling disconnected to yourself and others? Perhaps you are struggling with past or present issue/s. It’s a lot to navigate alone. For 20 yrs I've supported clients who've experienced the complexities of life including anxiety, depression, stress, illness, abuse, work issue, parenting/family dynamics with special interest in neurobiology, trauma and loss.

Collectively, we have just experienced some of the most challenging times of our lives, and continuing. My framework is holistic in nature and offered virtually at this time. My focus has shifted to include techniques such as Emotional Freedom Tapping, body awareness modalities, breathing techniques, talk therapy, visualization, and other creative coping tools that can be self applied outside of session safely. These tools can be used to help manage de-regulation, nervous system overload, to gain clarity, and to act as a more gentle introductory towards the path of healing especially for those that have never sought therapy before.
