Have you experienced some type of trauma? Do the memories of that trauma keep getting triggered and replaying in your mind? Do you feel like the trauma is stuck in your system and has no way out? Have you tried other types of therapy and your symptoms persist? If you answered YES to any of these questions EMDR is the therapy for you.

In EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), we will reprocess your traumatic memories. Once the memories are reprocessed they are no longer triggering. You also learn grounding techniques to help calm your system when it feels triggered.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed and on high alert? Are you struggling to complete day to day tasks? Having a hard time sleeping? Do you find that you get anxious, angry or sad easily and don't know how to stop your body from reacting this way? If you answered YES to any of these questions trauma therapy is the treatment option for you.

Trauma causes our system to become easily overwhelmed and it can react with emotions such as anger, anxiety and low mood. You will learn strategies to help regulate your system and help calm it down when it's overwhelmed. You'll also learn why your experiences have the affect they do on your system and understand how to manage this so it doesn't impact your day to day functioning.

Are you looking for supervision that's less formal? Do you want to have fun in supervision again? Don't get me wrong I'm still going to challenge you. We're still going to talk about the hard stuff but with some humour and swearing along the way. If this sounds like what you're looking for in a supervisor then I would be a good fit.
I supervise RPs, RSW, and RSSWs. My supervision approach is informed by training in EMDR, Attachment and Trauma Based Approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
I have over 18 years of experience in the mental health field as a child protection worker, community health worker and an employee assistance program therapist. I've dealt with my share of bad supervisors over the years and learned from those experiences.
I would love an opportunity to become your supervisor and support you at whatever stage you're at in your journey as a therapist. Whether you're just starting out, opening your own practice or anywhere in between.
