Victim Service Provider

I provide online counselling, EMDR therapy, and trauma-informed psychotherapy for teens and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions across Alberta, Ontario, and Saskatchewan.

​

"Many of my clients have spent years coping through perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional suppression, or constantly putting others' needs before their own. Through EMDR, somatic therapy, and a trauma-informed approach, I help teens and adults understand these patterns, heal from painful experiences, and build a more authentic and fulfilling life."

Why Choose Online Counselling?

Traffic

Access the right therapist, wherever you are

Choose a therapist based on fit and expertise, not proximity. Online therapy removes the need for long drives, helps maintain consistency through weather disruptions and travel, and allows you to continue care even if you relocate.

Privacy

A waiting room can feel like a public place. Online therapy is private — just you, your space, and a secure connection.

Your own space,

before and after

Being somewhere familiar makes it easier to open up. And after a deep session, there's no drive home — you can rest, journal, or simply sit with your thoughts right where you are. In trauma work especially, that gentle landing matters more than people expect

"After years of in-person therapy, I was skeptical about meeting online. To my surprise, it felt just as personal and effective, and in many ways even better. It's made therapy much easier to fit into my life." - Better Days Counselling Client

​

Research shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma, making quality mental health care more accessible than ever (PubMed)
