Victim Service Provider
As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), I provide online counselling and EMDR therapy for individuals in Edmonton and across Alberta who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, or significant life transitions.
"Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of stress, self-criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm. Through EMDR therapy, somatic approaches, and trauma-informed counselling, I help clients heal from difficult experiences, build self-awareness, and create more balanced and fulfilling lives."
Why Choose Online Counselling?
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
Research shows online therapy can be as effective as in-person care for trauma-related concerns such as PTSD — and it brings quality mental health care within reach, wherever you are. (Kelber et al., 2025)
