Discover what support is right for you

I work with adults one-on-one and with couples, in Calgary (in-person) and virtually across Ontario. No referral needed.

Childhood Trauma & Complex PTSD

Early experiences of neglect, inconsistency, or emotional pain wire the nervous system to stay on guard. We work to understand those patterns and release them at the root.

Anxiety & Emotional Overwhelm

Anxiety that won't respond to logic or willpower is almost always rooted in unprocessed experience. We get to the source, not just the symptoms.

Relationship & Attachment Patterns

Repeating painful dynamics in relationships isn't a character flaw — it's an attachment pattern learned early. We work to shift it at a deep level.

Self-Worth & Inner Critic

Chronic self-doubt and the feeling of being fundamentally flawed often come from how we were treated early in life. EMDR directly targets these core beliefs.

Grief & Loss

Grief doesn't follow a neat timeline. When loss triggers earlier wounds, it can feel impossible to move through. We go at your pace.

Couples Therapy

When conflict escalates quickly or partners shut down emotionally, trauma is often in the room. We work to rebuild emotional safety and real intimacy.

Approaches

How we work with trauma

We don't treat these as separate tools. We listen to what you need in each moment — sometimes understanding, sometimes processing, sometimes simply slowing everything down.

EMDR

Gently reprocesses stuck memories so they become part of your history, not something you keep reliving.

IFS

Gets curious about the different parts of you — the anxious part, the protector, the one that shuts down — with care rather than judgment.

Somatic Work

Pays attention to how your body responds in real time, and learns to listen rather than override.

EFT

Works with what happens underneath relationship conflict — what you feel, what you need, what's hard to express.

DBT Skills

Practical tools to stay present through overwhelming moments so emotions can move through without taking over.
