I bring decades of professional experience, advanced clinical training, and something equally important: a deep, personal understanding of what it means to carry experiences that continue to shape our lives.
I know this work not only through what I’ve studied and witnessed in others, but through what I’ve experienced and come to understand within myself.
What happened to you should not determine what happens next.
My approach integrates EMDR with relational, attachment-informed and somatic perspectives, creating the time and space for meaningful processing and integration.
Depth over frequency.
New Clients: Begin with a 90-minute Initial Clinical Counselling session, or book an optional complimentary 20-minute consultation if you’d like to connect first.
Appointments: Sessions are offered virtually, with in-person appointments available by request. Please contact info@shiftchange.life to inquire about in-person availability.
Insurance: Clinical counselling receipts are provided for submission to extended health benefit plans covering Registered Clinical Counsellors. Please confirm your individual coverage.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and EMDRIA Certified Therapist with decades of experience supporting individuals through complex experiences, personal challenges and significant life transitions.
My clinical practice specializes in advanced integrative counselling, drawing on extensive training in Relational-Integrative EMDR through SEVA Training Australia, alongside attachment-informed, relational, somatic and parts-oriented approaches.
I work with people from all walks of life. My background includes decades of working with high performers across sport, business, leadership and other demanding environments, bringing a unique understanding of the relationship between performance, identity and the experiences we carry.
As a former national-level athlete and Team Canada coach, I understand both the demands of high performance and the often unseen experiences that shape how we move through the world.
I am also the founder of Shift Change, an organization dedicated to expanding access to early intervention and ongoing mental health support.
My approach is grounded in depth over frequency. I offer longer, individualized clinical counselling sessions that create time for meaningful processing and integration, rather than assuming therapy must follow a traditional weekly model.
I believe what happened to you matters, but it does not have to determine what happens next.
