Complex Trauma

Whether you have experienced a single shocking event or the ongoing weight of repeated or prolonged stress, trauma can leave your nervous system trapped in a constant state of high alert or total exhaustion. Using a trauma-informed approach that combines evidence based approaches, we can collaboratively work on processing these painful moments.

Some common modalities used:

Parts work
Emotion focused therapy/somatic experiencing
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Dialectical behavioural therapy
Grief work

Grief Counselling

Grief is so much more than just death. Loss can shatter your reality, leaving you to navigate a hurricane of seemingly conflicting emotions—sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one or pet, the ending of a relationship, the version of your life that could have been, or even aspects of your life that you still appreciate in some way (ie. grieving the mistakes your parents made), I provide a compassionate, unhurried space to explore this weight. Together, we can honour your unique timeline and gently integrate this loss into your ongoing story.

Chronic Illness

Having a body that feels like it's fighting against you can be exhausting. The constant unpredictability, medical gaslighting, physical fatigue, and grief of having to constantly care or advocate for yourself can be overwhelming at times. In therapy, we can close the gap between physical health and mental well-being. Together, we can find a balance between grieving the realities of chronic illness and accepting this way of life.

Anxiety and Stress

Anxiety can show up as spinning thoughts, physical tension, restless nights, a constant bracing for the worst-case scenario, and more. Together we can focus not only on coping strategies, but what your nervous system might be trying to protect you from.

Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad. It can make the smallest daily tasks feel impossible and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you love. Together, we can approach this heavy space with empathy and self-compassion. Step by step, we can use behavioural strategies and reflection to not only help find tools to help reduce the numbness, but also help to quiet the self-criticism that so often comes alongside this state of mind.
