WORK WITH ME.

Start with a One-time Healing Session. You get to meet me, experience the work, and see if we’re a fit for something deeper.

Not sure? send me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction.

A One-time Session is the minute-clinic version: one issue, one session, no commitment. Therapeutic Coaching is the deep dive: discovery, a tailored plan, and every-other-week sessions with a 6-session minimum — because if I’m going to unpack it all, I need time to safely re-pack anything you weren’t expecting to find.

Yes, beautifully — and for many people it works better. In your own space you feel safer, and a settled system goes a lot deeper than one that’s braced for a waiting room. I’ve been doing EMDR online for years, from London to Nairobi to Vancouver. Sessions are held through a secure videoconferencing platform that meets the privacy requirements for therapy in both the United States and Canada.

For a single recent event, one session can make a serious dent. Deeper patterns take longer. Either way: I get in, get to the root, get to work — and get you out the door.

48 hours’ notice (or by noon Friday for Monday sessions). Late cancellations and no-shows pay the full fee — which goes to subsidize low- and no-fee trauma first-aid sessions. Be respectful, and own it if a late payment is due.

Anything that works with the body, not just the mind. Trauma doesn't live in the part of the brain that does talking. It lives in the nervous system, in the responses that happen before you've even had a chance to think. That's why approaches like EMDR, tapping, and energy psychology get results when years of talking haven't. As an international trauma therapist working with clients online across the globe, I'd also say this: a good therapist who you genuinely trust will always outperform a technically perfect method delivered by someone you don't connect with.

Both get to the same place, they just take a slightly different route. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, butterfly hugs in practice, to help the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their charge. Tapping (TFT and EFT) works with the body's energy pathways to move distress out quickly. Less processing, more clearing. In practice I use both, often in the same session: EMDR to locate the root, tapping to move it out.

An EMDR therapist is a licensed mental health professional who uses EMDR as part of a clinical treatment plan, often alongside a formal diagnosis. To use EMDR you must have a Masters Degree in a mental health field and be licensed as a psychotherapist in your jurisdiction. This means that Coaches are typically not qualified to work with EMDR unless they are also a therapist.

As a licensed international therapist and a certified coach, I offer a hybrid service that I call therapeutic coaching. This ensures you receive the clinical expertise of a certified EMDR therapist without the diagnosis, the paperwork, or the paper trail, but with all the forward momentum and championing that many clients seek from a coach.

In my experience, yes, and for a lot of people it's actually more effective. When you're in your own space, you feel safer, and a relaxed nervous system goes a lot deeper than one that's braced for a waiting room. Based in British Columbia and working with clients internationally, I've been doing EMDR online for years. The results speak for themselves.

No, and this is one of the things I love most about it. You don't have to retell your story in painful detail. Sometimes you don't have to talk about it at all. You just need to identify where you feel the distress in your body and give it a number on a scale of zero to ten. The healing happens at the level of the nervous system, not the narrative. For most people, that's a huge relief.

It depends on what you're working on. For a single recent traumatic event, one session can make a significant dent. For deeper, more pervasive patterns that have been running for years, the work takes longer. The goal is always to get you results as efficiently as possible, not to keep you in therapy indefinitely. I get in, get to the root, and get to work. And then I get you out the door.

It's the version of trauma that doesn't look like trauma. No flashbacks, no obvious breakdown. Just perfectionism, people-pleasing, an inability to rest without guilt, relationships that keep hitting the same wall, and a life that looks extraordinary from the outside and feels oddly hollow on the inside. High achievers are almost always the last to connect the dots, because the coping strategies that got them this far are also the ones hiding the problem.

It looks like success. A packed calendar that never has room for rest, to-do lists that grow faster than they shrink, an ability to show up for everyone else while quietly running on empty, and a promotion that should feel like a win but somehow doesn't. It also looks like control. High achievers with trauma tend to be extraordinarily good at managing their environment, their image, and their emotional presentation. Everything buttoned up. Everything fine. Until it isn't.

Yes, significantly. Most relational patterns have roots that go back further than people expect, not to the last relationship, but to much earlier experiences of what love looked and felt like and whether it was safe to need someone. EMDR gets to those roots and clears the charge around them, so they stop shaping how you show up in relationships today. You can understand a pattern completely and still repeat it, because understanding lives in the mind. The pattern lives in the nervous system. That's where EMDR works.

Yes, and it gets there faster than you'd think. Burnout isn't a scheduling problem. It's a nervous system problem, and the nervous system doesn't reset just because you took a week off. Trauma therapy works at the level where burnout actually lives: in the body, in the patterns, in the part of you that learned a very long time ago that stopping wasn't safe. Clear that, and the recovery is real. Not just a temporary reprieve before the cycle starts again.

Here's the thing most people don't know about trauma: talking about it is not the same as healing it.

You can tell your story eloquently, understand exactly why you react the way you do, and still find yourself triggered by the same things, repeating the same patterns, lying awake at 3am running the same scenarios. Because trauma doesn't live in the narrative. It lives in the body. In the nervous system. In the responses that fire before your brain has even caught up.

Enter EMDR.

Whether we're working in a single One-Time Healing Session or going deeper through International Therapy and Coaching, EMDR works directly with how distressing experiences are stored in the nervous system. Not how you talk about them. How they actually live in your body right now. We find the charge, locate where it sits, and clear it from there. The memory doesn't disappear. It just stops running the show.

Alongside EMDR, tapping moves distress out of the body quickly and gently. Energy psychology clears what's been quietly blocking forward movement. And because everything happens online, it's accessible wherever you are in the world.

That's the work. Precise, efficient, and a lot more gentle than most people expect.
