As a Clinical Mental Health counselor I help clients with anxiety and depression understand how to heal their nervous system. I meet clients where they are at and we decide together the best course of action for moving forward. I am a trauma therapist and I help people to understand their healing journey. I provide tools for emotional regulation, and calming an overactive nervous system. I also provide tools for shifting beliefs and increasing well being daily. I use Safe and Sound an inner ear acoustic intervention that is evidence based and has been shown to calm an overactive nervous system which is so important for therapy.

I am honoured that you are considering inviting me to walk alongside you at this time. I believe that all human behaviours serve a purpose, and you have likely found this page by recognizing that your current coping strategies are no longer serving you as they once did. I also believe that you are the expert of yourself and your innate ability to heal and find the answers you seek already exist within you.

There are times in life that can leave us feeling vulnerable and alone - my goal is to come alongside you, so you don't have to feel this way.

Hello, my name is Debbie. Do you wish that you could feel free from stress, anxiety, hopelessness, addiction, and or other life challenges getting in your way? Do you find yourself feeling checked out or overwhelmed? Are you lonely? Have relationship issues? These are just some examples of things I can support you with. You do not have to suffer alone.

Together, I can support you to lessen the discomfort you are experiencing in life, and enhance your ability to feel positive emotions and harmony within yourself and towards others.

Everyone experiences situations in their lives when things do not work out as planned or desired. You may be having a difficult time in moving forward without the time, tools and support to do so in a positive way. Our emotional health is equally, if not more, important than our physical and mental health. When we are faced with trauma, our emotional health takes a toll and affects our ability to manage and demonstrate the emotions that arise from what we have experienced. When individuals and family members address and work on issues, which have been buried for years, they are able to achieve a sense of peace, balance and comfort.

I heard that the purpose of therapy is not meant to change who you are, but to become who you really are. I use evidence-based therapy to help you learn skills to better face challenges while also building insight into how these issues may have come about. I use a kind of talk therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on understanding and being open to thoughts and emotions, being aware of the present moment and your perspective in it, and deepening your values with actionable steps. I also have specialized training in sleep issues.

I work together with children, youth, adults, couples, and families who are striving to find balance and improve quality of life.
