Founder and Counsellor (MEd., CCC)
Is your anxiety and depression preventing you from living your life? Have you lost the sense of who you are and where you’re going? Is there a toxic relationship in your life sucking the energy out of you?
Sometimes we know exactly what we need to change but we feel stuck and can’t do it. But there is a way… Seeing a therapist enables you to feel safe, understood, and hopeful that you can move forward in your life.
Life happens and it isn’t always pleasant.
Our brain is supposed to compute those hurtful situations so we can protect ourselves the next time. Sometimes though our brain gets behind in its paperwork and the next thing you know, you’re acting in a way that doesn’t make sense for the situation you’re in. EMDR completes the processing of those old stuck memories so you can use current information to live your life – in the present.
Just like others, my life has been quite messy.
Adverse life events (traumas) have knocked me down and there have been times I could not get back up, without help. I remember seeing a therapist who helped me feel that there wasn’t something wrong with me… Something wrong happened to me. We used EMDR to help my body move through that trauma so that I could live in the present moment, not in the past. It was liberating! I would love the opportunity to help you do the same…
Mental Health advocacy is a passion of mine, in addition to learning how to live our best lives. I love walking my dog and enjoying the sunshine and trees. Running and hot yoga are my favourite hobbies! As well as reading a great book and laughing out loud with my husband, family and friends.

Happiness is one of the 6 basic emotions…and Shawn Achor defined happiness in his first book, The Happiness Advantage, as “the joy we feel moving toward our potential.” A new year feels like a change which can bring new energy for new ideas and new habits. A while ago, I read the book, Before Happiness: […]

Quarks are the building blocks of the universe, the energy behind everything that exists. This energy is everywhere, constantly flowing and evolving. As humans, we have our own energy fields surrounding our bodies. Sometimes, our energy can become blocked or unbalanced due to injury or trauma. Healing Touch is a gentle, non-invasive energy therapy that […]

Years ago I read the book, The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatrist and leading trauma researcher for over 30 years. His book and the Trauma centre he founded in Massachusetts helped me modify the idea of Safe Harbour Therapy into what it is now. A Superstore for Trauma that […]
