Brainspotting therapists in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

I believe therapy should make room for the full context of our lives, including the experiences, relationships, and systems that shape us. My approach is grounded in social justice and a commitment to affirming care. I work collaboratively and relationally, drawing on experiential and somatic approaches to help clients explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and process trauma. My work is primarily trauma-focused, integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic regulation techniques. Our work can include exploration, curiosity, and making sense of your experiences, alongside deeper trauma work when you're ready. I have a strong focus on concussion recovery and a particular interest in supporting People of the Global Majority, 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks, people living with chronic illness and disability, and frontline healthcare professionals. I also offer direct billing to ICBC for eligible counselling sessions. I offer online counselling through a secure video platform.  

You don’t have to have your life perfectly figured out, and things don’t need to look flawless on paper to justify seeking support. Sometimes, you just feel a persistent sense that something is off, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it right now. Whether you are a creative, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a mother, or a father, it is incredibly common to find yourself quietly exhausted, feeling stuck, or questioning if the way you’ve been living actually works for you anymore. You might just feel ready for a change and a return to who you truly are.Traditional talk therapy is wonderful, but often the root of our pain or patterns lives deeper than words can reach. In my practice, I utilize Brainspotting—a powerful, neuro-experiential modality that serves as a way of working through deep-seated issues without having to talk through them endlessly. By integrating Brainspotting with nervous system regulation, CBT, and somatic tools, we look beneath the surface to safely locate and process hidden emotional stress, anxiety, or stored trauma. Together, we will finally take down the heavy things that have been "sitting on the shelf" for years, gently breaking them down into manageable, bite-sized pieces so your nervous system never feels overwhelmed.I support individuals navigating:A general sense of "stuckness," low mood, or a lost direction—even if it's hard to nameThe everyday pressures of running a business, creative burnout, or parenting demandsGently processing early life dynamics or long-standing patterns that still echo in your life todayReclaiming your personal boundaries and safely reconnecting with your body after times of stress or disruption.
