Hello

I am so glad you found me!

Although, it is likely because you are struggling. You do not have to go through this alone I will be there with you.

Experiencing Trauma Is More Common Than You Think

Trauma is a part of the human experience, and it comes in many forms. Some events are what we call big “T” traumas—major life-threatening or overwhelming experiences like accidents, natural disasters, or violence. Others are small “t” traumas, which may seem less dramatic but can still deeply affect us, such as ongoing stress, relationship challenges, or workplace difficulties.

Childhood trauma can shape how we see ourselves and the world, often influencing emotional and physical health well into adulthood. And for those who care for or support others, vicarious trauma, the emotional impact of witnessing or hearing about someone else’s suffering—can be just as real.

Understanding these different types of traumas is the first step toward healing. You are not alone, and support is available.

You are exactly where you need to be.

Give me 15 minutes to see if I can put you at ease and alleviate some of your hesitations around coming to therapy.

During your free 15-minute phone or virtual consultation feel free to ask any questions you may have about therapy and how I can assist you with the issue you may be having. This time will also be for you to confirm that I am a good fit for you as a therapist. I can't wait to meet you.

Land Acknowledgement

I acknowledge that I live, work, and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut'ina Nation, the Îyârhe Nakoda Nations, and the Métis Nation (Region 3). I honor the ancestors of these lands and recognize the historical trauma and ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous peoples due to colonization. As we work toward healing, it is important to rebuild relationships between Indigenous communities and helping professions, through culturally respectful and informed practices. By doing so, we can support the well-being of all people and foster greater healing, understanding and collaboration for the future.
