Resentment doesn’t come out of nowhere — it grows in the spaces where boundaries should’ve been. 🌱

If you’re feeling drained, snappy, or quietly bitter… it might not be too much emotion - It might be too few limits.

Learning to set boundaries isn’t selfish — it’s self-respect.
If you’re ready to untangle the patterns that keep you overgiving and start feeling grounded again, therapy can help.

Healing isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about reclaiming your life in the present. Trauma leaves echoes in the body, the mind, and the nervous system, but you don’t have to carry that weight forever.

In my Calgary practice, I specialize in depth-oriented trauma therapy for women who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. Together, we use proven approaches like:
🌿 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) – to release trauma at its root.
🌿 ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) – for rapid relief from painful memories.
🌿 OEI (Observed & Experiential Integration) and Parts Work (IFS-informed) – to reconnect with all parts of yourself.
🌿 Polyvagal-informed therapy – to regulate your nervous system and restore calm.

Healing is possible. You are worthy of joy, hope, and peace.

If these words speak to you, I’d love to walk alongside you on your healing journey. In person and virtual appointments are available.

EMDR isn’t just for trauma survivors in crisis — it’s for anyone who’s been carrying emotional pain they didn’t know how to release.

Like Miley, many women come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or burnout… even when everything looks fine on the outside.

If you’ve tried to think or talk your way out of pain and it’s still there—EMDR may be the missing piece.

🌀 EMDR helps:
• Process and rewire painful experiences
• Reduce emotional triggers and anxiety
• Heal from the inside out—at the level of the nervous system

You don’t have to carry it all anymore.

🌪️ “Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering.” – Peter Levine

So many women walk through life looking composed on the outside—managing careers, relationships, families—while silently carrying the weight of unresolved trauma.

Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, or the feeling that you’re never quite “enough.”

You are not broken—and you are not alone.
Healing is possible.
You deserve support that helps you feel safe, seen, and whole.

✨ If you’re ready to begin that journey, I’m here.

🧠 Why Talk Therapy Isn’t Always Enough 💬

So many clients come to therapy thinking, “If I just talk about it enough, I’ll heal.”
But trauma doesn’t live in the thinking brain — it lives in the body, nervous system, and deeper parts of the self.

This visual breaks down the real roadmap to trauma healing, and why traditional talk therapy can only take us so far.

🔍 Here’s what true trauma healing looks like:
1️⃣ Safety & Stabilization – Learning to feel safe in your body
2️⃣ Identifying Trauma-Driven Parts – Meeting the parts of you that learned to survive
3️⃣ Rewiring Survival Responses – Shifting patterns like shutdown, fawning, or hypervigilance
4️⃣ Processing Trauma Memories Safely – Not reliving, but releasing what’s stuck
5️⃣ Rebuilding a Stable Sense of Self – Who are you beyond the trauma?
6️⃣ Integration & Post-Traumatic Growth – Creating a life that finally feels like yours

💡 Healing is not linear, and it’s not one-size-fits-all. But when you work at the level where trauma actually lives — healing becomes possible.

✨ If this resonates, you’re not alone. This is the work I do with my clients every day — using trauma-informed, evidence-based methods like EMDR, somatic therapies, and parts work to support deep, lasting change.

🧠 Your Brain on Trauma… and How ART Can Help Reset It
Have you ever known you were safe — but still felt anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns?

That’s trauma.

It doesn’t just live in your memories — it lives in your brain and body.
And talking about it isn’t always enough to heal it.

That’s where Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) comes in.
This evidence-based therapy helps the brain rewire how trauma is stored — gently and powerfully — without needing to re-tell your story in detail.

✨ ART uses rapid eye movements, body awareness, and visual memory replacement to help you feel relief — fast.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, like your mind knows the trauma is over but your body hasn’t caught up — ART might be the missing piece.
