Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Saskatoon, SK

I am a Registered Doctoral Psychologist and have been practicing for over 10 years. My primary goal within therapy is creating a safe space for my clients to process complex emotions and unique life experiences so to allow for a healthier, more adaptive self.

Many of us experience the feeling of irritability, restlessness, overwhelm or anxiety. Many of us feel stuck in the stories and experiences of our past, or wonder 'why am I like this'? I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. You deserve to be truly heard and understood, and to have your story safely held. I am passionate about working with individuals who experience the complexities of chronic stress, anxiety and trauma. I gently lead with curiosity and compassion, support you in your current season of life, and offer you practical tools, skills, and self-understanding.

When did you last feel "light"? If you’re living with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, conflict and fear, it feels like you are always looking for ways to "get by", cope, and maybe lift some of the burden. Although your circumstances, experiences, and needs may differ, you are not alone. People who face these things often share a common desire- to feel lighter, not weighed down by what they have gone through, or are still going through. Whether by reconnecting with yourself, developing effective ways to manage your symptoms, or simply finding a safe space to rediscover your laughter, it is possible to find healing, peace, and even joy.

The impact of trauma on a person's suffering and how they cope can manifest in many negative ways. Anxiety, depression, loss of self-worth, hopelessness and an inability to care for oneself emotionally and psychologically are common issues. A person may be easily triggered, become more reactive, or shut down completely. This in turn can impact their personal and professional relationships. To pursue a life of calmness requires all our inner strength, our courage, commitment to self and the spirit of championing change.

I am accepting new assessment clients and group therapy clients; I am not currently able to take on new individual therapy clients. In my practice, I help people to process and recover from the experience of trauma. If you feel stuck, paralyzed by past events, or like you are being haunted by your own memories, I can help you find a way to move forward. Alongside my focus with PTSD, I work generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, and work stress.

Hi there, the past few years has really impacted all of us in various different ways. Having worked in the health care system for a number of years, I understand the dynamics that interplay when we are personally struggling. Our physical health, mental health, emotional health and spiritual health are all equally important. Those hardships, and stresses we face in life, such as financial burdens, grief, loss, isolation, family dynamics and medical circumstances to name a few, can bring us to a place where we might struggle to find the answers and ways in which to cope.

Accepting NEW Clients! - Struggling with feelings like anxiety, guilt, or shame that are holding you back? Feeling overwhelmed by tough thoughts or past negative experiences?

I have a particular interest in the areas of trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, disordered eating and body image concerns, domestic violence, women's health, chronic pain and chronic health issues (ie. migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue), depression, anxiety, coping with stress, grief and loss, and adoption.

Work-life balance can be difficult to manage on your own, especially if you are struggling with mental health; whether that be from a recent traumatic event or historical trauma. Layered in this can be undiagnosed learning conditions and/or caregiving responsibility, which can lead to heightened emotional stress or crisis. It is helpful to have a support network; either in your personal life, in the community, or even medically. Creating boundaries for ones self is a big step and I can help through this by providing solution-focused, goal oriented strategies, hopefully creating more balance and getting back to your 'normal self'.
