Trauma-informed counselling and EMDR for teens, adul and couples navigating overwhelm and healing after difficult experiences
- You feel tense, on edge, or emotionally flooded even when things seem "fine" on the surface.
- Your body reacts before your mind can make sense of what is happening.
- Certain moments, tones, and conflicts feel bigger than the present situation.
- Past experiences continue to shape how you relate to yourself and to others.
- You're tired of managing, coping, and pushing through, and you want something to feel different.
- You understand why you feel the way that you do, but insight and talk therapy alone haven't brought relief.
Trauma-informed therapy is offered that honours both the mind and body.
Using EMDR, somatic approaches, and relational therapy, we'll work together at your pace to help your nervous system find the relief it needs.

Hi, I'm Brooke (she/her).
I am a white, cisgender, heterosexual, straight-bodied woman who lives with ADHD and anxiety. My path into counselling is deeply rooted in lived experience. Growing up, I faced significant adversity, including childhood maltreatment, navigating life with a learning disability, and exposure to domestic violence. These experiences shaped my understanding of how trauma can impact self-worth, relationships, and the nervous system—often in ways that aren’t immediately visible to others.
Rather than defining me, these experiences inspired a strong commitment to healing, self-compassion, and meaningful change. They allow me to meet clients with genuine empathy, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique story. I believe healing happens in safe, collaborative spaces where clients feel seen, believed, and empowered at their own pace.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, and I am passionate about supporting individuals as they reconnect with their strengths, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and regulated.


Trauma-informed counselling and EMDR therapy through secure online sessions for clients nationwide, where permitted by provincial regulation. While the practice is based in Hinton, AB, particular focus is on supporting individuals and couples in surrounding areas and in communities who may have limited access to specialized trauma therapy.
