EMDR Certified Therapist Membership
Purple Raven Counselling
I am a registered social worker (BC, ON, NS). I believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together—one rooted in trust, compassion, and authenticity.I’m certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I am trained in Critical Incident Stress Management for individuals and groups through the International Critical Stress Foundation. I also conduct hormone-readiness assessments for gender-affirming care and am honoured to support individuals at all stages of identity exploration and transition. As a lifelong learner, I’m always expanding my knowledge to better understand both myself and the people I support. I’ve completed additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Before entering private practice, I spent over a decade working in the public mental health system in both British Columbia and Nunavut, giving me broad experience with a wide range of mental health concerns, trauma, and addictions, including with Indigenous populations and First Responders. I take a holistic approach to wellness that recognizes the deep connection between mind and body. My work is grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and care, and I believe in tailoring therapy to fit your unique needs and goals.
