I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work on Treaty 7 land, the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani First Nations as well as the lyaxe Nakoda: Good Stoney, Chiniki and Bearspaw First Nations; and the Tsuu’tina First Nation. I also recognize the connection and autonomy of the Metis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. 

“Hello! Thank you for stopping by to view my website! Please read on to learn about the virtual services that I offer!”

Trauma is my specialty. What is trauma? Trauma is linked to a memory/memories of an event(s) that “sticks” within your mind and body. As a result, you may experience “triggers” in your day to day life that unexpectedly take you back to the memory/memories and the distressing emotions that are attached. When this happens, you may feel like you are reliving the traumatic event over and over again. If this sounds familiar to you, I can help!

Unresolved trauma can result in anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, PTSD, C-PTSD or chronic pain, all of which can greatly impact your ability to function. When you lose your ability to function, you may experience a decrease in self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence all of which will impact your core sense of self.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist, my preferred modality of treatment is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), however I can support you through the use of other modalities as well. As a Registered Clinical Social Worker in the province of Alberta, I have additional education and advanced knowledge and training in mental health treatment. Together we can determine what type of support will benefit you the most.

I offer VIRTUAL (secure video and/or telephone) services to all residents of ALBERTA, ONTARIO, YUKON and NUNAVUT. This format has been proven through research to be just as effective as in-person sessions and has the added benefits of:

• no transportation costs, no parking fees, no travel time, avoidance of inclement weather, sickness won’t prevent you from attending and easy access to professional guidance and support from the safety and comfort of your own home or your workplace.

We all get stuck along our journey at times. Let me support you in finding that ray of light, the “sunburst” that gives you hope in your healing process. It would be my privilege to support you in finding your way back to who you know yourself to be.
