Helping you bounce back from life’s toughest challenges.
EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy for Women in Calgary and Online across Alberta
Depth therapy to help you get to the root of your struggles and find lasting change.
For so long, you’ve pretended everything is “just fine”—and it’s exhausting
On the outside, it looks like you have it all together—but inside, you’re full of worry, self-doubt, and wondering what’s wrong with me? You are weighed down by a constant sense of anxiety and no matter what you do, you never feel quite good enough. Your relationships are struggling — you often feel disconnected and alone. Your life is so full of responsibilities you almost need a to-do list for your to-do lists. And somehow what never ends up there is taking care of the person in your life who needs it the most - you!
Maybe You’ve Been …:
Holding onto pain from the past that feels impossible to let go of
Feeling stuck on an emotional rollercoaster and you want to get off
People-pleasing - afraid to put yourself first
Saying yes to everyone else, even when it leaves you so drained
Overthinking everything and questioning yourself at every turn
Things really can feel better than they do today.
Welcome!
You’ve come to the right place.
I’m Vivienne. I'm here to help you move forward.
I help women like you - the ones who are ready to do the work to feel better, but need a little help finding their way. When life & responsibilities are overwhelming, it’s easy to downplay your struggles, especially when you’re juggling so much. If you’ve been feeling stuck or disconnected, I want you to know this - things can feel better than they do today.
This is a place to get unstuck from what’s holding you back…
Women come to me because they want to do more than just to “cope” with their struggles, they want to get to the root to achieve lasting change.
I’ll help you understand how your past is showing up in your present, reconnect with your strengths, and unpack the weight you've carried alone for too long.
Using transformative therapies like EMDR & Accelerated Resolution Therapy, we'll work through painful experiences and limiting beliefs that are getting in the way of you living life on your terms.
You can feel lighter, more confident, and ready to face life’s challenges knowing you have what it takes to thrive.
You’ve been carrying this weight for far too long. It’s time to find real relief.
I specialize in…
-
Trauma can affect every part of your life—your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Whether it stems from lived experiences, ancestral pain, or societal pressures, it’s not something you have to face alone. Specialized trauma therapy offers a compassionate and effective way to reprocess painful memories, calm your nervous system, and release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying.
In this work, I will help you reconnect with your inner strength, build resilience, and move forward with clarity so you can reclaim your life.
-
Anxiety can feel all-consuming, with worry, self-doubt, and sometimes physical symptoms. Whether it shows up as endless “what-ifs,” avoidance, or an overwhelming sense of fear, therapy can help you take back control. By understanding why anxiety is showing up and using tools to calm both your mind and body, you can start to feel relief.
Here, we’ll create strategies to manage symptoms and help you break free from fear, so you can move forward with peace and confidence.

When difficult memories, trauma, or anxiety hold you back, EMDR can help. This structured mind-body therapy works to reprocess and heal the distressing events that feel “stuck.” Through a series of guided phases, we’ll create safety, build coping tools, and address those moments head-on in a way that helps you move forward with clarity and calm.
EMDR can help you find relief from trauma, anxiety, phobias, or overwhelming emotions, empowering you to step into a more confident and intentional life.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy that provides a way to reprocess and reframe difficult memories without the need to talk about them in detail. Using therapeutic eye movements and guided techniques, ART empowers you to “keep the facts and lose the pain,” creating a new story of hope, confidence, and healing.
No matter what you bring to the table, ART offers a powerful, transformative path toward feeling lighter, more connected, and free from the weight of the past.
-
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just don’t have the time for traditional weekly therapy right now, an intensive may be the right fit.

This concentrated approach to therapy can help you make significant progress in less time, giving you the clarity, lasting change, and relief you need to move forward.
