room to breathe counselling

Your body remembers things—even a single moment can leave a lasting mark. That’s my specialty. I help individuals heal from recent or single-event trauma using EMDR — a powerful, evidence-based approach that reduces the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. Whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself after a distressing experience, I offer a safe and grounded space where you can begin to feel more stable, clear, and in control again.

I love working with individuals who are motivated to engage in the processes of self-reflection and self-discovery, who are open to exploring new ways of experiencing and moving through the world. This might look like learning new concepts and strategies and applying them to their own life and relationships. This might look like working to understand patterns of behaviour and making conscious decisions about what patterns to keep and which ones to let go of. You are the main character in your own life. Live with intention! 

You will find that I am passionate about helping you build resilience through crafting meaningful and personalized self-care practices, empowering you to embrace all aspects of yourself while aligning more fully with your personal values.

I blend structure with soul, drawing from EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and IFS. My practice is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and LGBTQ+ affirming. I believe in the importance of making space for laughter, even when things feel heavy.  I understand that allowing yourself to be vulnerable can feel scary, so I try to meet your vulnerability with my own by being my authentic, swear-y, quirky, imperfect self, because I believe real healing happens when we’re allowed to be real.

My goal is to provide you with the opportunity to take time for yourself, to invest in your own wellbeing, and to give you room to breathe!
