Ocean Waves

Therapy is a deep dive into self.  

Floating in water is where I've always found a sense of being held.

It is a peaceful place, a buffer zone away from the noise of the world, where nervous systems can finally relax.

Therapy should feel like this, so you can dive safely into your own personal depths. 

I can help with 

PTSD, C-PTSD,

Trauma

Heal from trauma by working with your nervous system and the parts of you that adapted to survive.

Relationship to Body

Support for eating concerns, sexual dysfunction, body dysmorphia, numbness, and self-hatred. Rebuild safety in your body.​

Anxiety

Support for panic, generalized anxiety, phobias, and restlessness. Learn tools to regulate. 

Sex and Sexuality

Explore consent, pleasure, safety, and connection. Unlearn shame and reconnect with your sexuality.

Queerness

Affirming support for identity exploration, internalized shame, and pride and resilience.

Depression

Work with low mood, low energy, and self-esteem and suicidality to find meaning and  motivation.

​

Addiction

A harm-reduction approach to understanding what keeps you stuck. Heal whats beneath addictive patterns.

Cultural and Intergenerational Trauma 

Process the impacts of discrimination and cultural violence while strengthening identity.

Set boundaries, understand needs and triggers, and communicate clearly to feel more connected. 

Relationships 

Family Dysfuction

Understand how family dynamics shaped you. Heal childhood wounds and release inherited shame.

Self Compassion

Soften self-criticism, build self-trust, and reconnect with your innate capacity to heal and find your innate healing abilities. 

Authenticity 

Explore who you are beneath protective patterns and societal conditioning —and live in alignment with your values. 

You deserve it.

 The majority of my experience is working with marginalized populations including 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, Indigenous communities, and people affected by homelessness, addiction, and complex trauma. I want to prioritize safety for all people, in order to help heal not just the individual, but the communities, societies and systems they are a part of.

Everyday I am so deeply grateful to be able to work, live and enjoy this land I am so privileged to be on. Reconciliation is something I work everyday towards.  Although a small step, I want to honour and acknowledge the history of Golden. The Secwépemc( seh-WEP-uh-muhc)  name for Golden is C7es7ístkten (Tsuh-ess-EE-sht-ken) , which translates to “Winter.” Suggesting Golden was traditionally used during winter seasons by Secwépemc peoples. 

This land is unceded, meaning it was never legally given up to the Crown through a treaty or other agreement; it was stolen and colonized. It still belongs to the Ktunaxa (k-too-nah-ha) and Secwépemc (also known as Shuswap) Peoples. Before settlers, these peoples practiced self governance with their laws, oral traditions, and lived off the land and water.

The Ktunaxa have lived in the Kootenay and Columbia River watersheds for over 10,000 years. Their traditional territory spans about 70,000 square kilometres across southeastern BC Alberta, Montana, Washington, and Idaho. For generations, they moved seasonally. The Secwépemc (Shuswap) have lived on Secwépemcúl’ecw, a territory across BC’s interior that includes the Columbia River Valley and the Rockies. The Métis Nation, Columbia River Society is also an active part of these lands today. 

I am and will always be a settler on this land we call Canada, and am forever grateful. I am of Irish-catholic and Scottish decent, and my family has been settled in Alberta for 4 generations on both sides. I respect the oral practices, cultures, and traditions that were here long before I came and continue to thrive and shape this land.
