Tired of Holding It All Together?
Helping Women Break Free from Stress & Anxiety, Heal Trauma, & Step into Peace
EMDR & ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN CALGARY & ACROSS ALBERTA
In-person & online depth therapy to uncover the root of your struggles and find lasting change
For so long, you’ve pretended everything is ‘just fine’ - and it’s exhausting
You smile, and on the outside, it looks like you have it all together—but inside, you’re full of worry and self-doubt. Whether you speak up or not, almost everything is followed by the obligatory “I’m sorry.” Maybe your relationships don’t feel the way you’d like—they leave you feeling disconnected and alone. Maybe you feel like an imposter at work—even with all your qualifications, you still never feel good enough. Life just isn’t going the way you imagined, and it’s deeply disappointing. You’re weighed down by a constant sense of anxiety, stress, and frustration.
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!

Holding onto pain from the past that feels impossible to let go of
Overwhelmed by life’s big changes
Stuck on an emotional rollercoaster, barely holding on

You’ve been carrying this weight for far too long. It’s time to find real relief
I specialize in…
-
Anxiety can feel suffocating - all that worry, self-doubt, and feeling like you can never really take a deep breath . Whether it shows up as endless “what-ifs,” avoidance, or an overwhelming sense of fear, therapy can help you take back control.
i’ll help you understand why anxiety is showing up and learn tools to calm both your mind and body, so you can start to feel relief. We’ll use therapies like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which offer effective, science-backed approaches to healing. Both therapies help rewire the brain’s response to stress, trauma, and anxiety triggers, helping you to break free from fear, so you can move forward with peace and confidence.
-
Trauma can affect every part of your life—your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Whether the pain stems from recent or childhood 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 calm your nervous system, reprocess painful memories, and release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying.
I will help you reconnect with your inner strength, build resilience, and move forward so you can reclaim your life.

When painful memories, trauma, or anxiety hold you back, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy or “EMDR” can help. EMDR is a powerful holistic mind-body therapy that helps you process the distressing experiences that feel “stuck.” Through a series of guided phases, we’ll create safety, build coping tools, and reprocess those memories so they no longer hold power over you. The best part? You don’t have to rehash all the painful details of what you’ve been through.
EMDR can help you find relief from trauma, anxiety, phobias, overwhelming emotions, and much, much more - so you can thrive in spite of what you’ve been through.
-
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. With longer, targeted sessions, we can dive deep into what’s been holding you back—whether it’s limiting beliefs, trauma, stress, or unhelpful patterns.
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.
