Welcome to Shimmering Tree Counselling ~ a place of healing, presence & sanctuary. A place where all parts of you are welcome. Where you’ll be held with unconditional positive regard, be heard deeply, and be safe enough to be honest about what’s not working… and what it is your heart is truly calling for~
Find honest insight and guidance to get your bearings, see what’s really going on in both your conscious & unconscious mind (significant, because they are both creating your reality, right now).
Heal at the root level, any trauma or parts of yourself fragmented off and suppressed. It’s these disowned parts carrying burdens of past wounding, and separation from our core Self, that are usually the basis of anxiety, depression, addiction, low esteem, negative patterns, relationship issues, etc. Using neuroscience-based somatic trauma recovery therapy, ‘parts work’ to recover and integrate exiled, often very young parts of ourselves (soul retrieval), we can both calm and heal, permanently change our nervous system, lessening or extinguishing our pain.
The goal, quite simply is to access our birthright: self awareness, love, expression, peace, power, joy & full aliveness.
I see clearly, even if you cannot yet, your wholeness, your strength, your exquisite essential self, as well as the wounds and the chaos that may be clouding some of that now. To quote the song lyrics that ring so true, “I did what I did before love came to town,” we are all doing the best we can with the ability, understanding, knowledge and awareness we have had.
If you long for clarity, to feel comfortable in your own body, to feel good about who you are and what you aspire to and to have that radiate out from your core into all that you touch, then you have found your sanctuary, your safe place for transformative work at Shimmering Tree.
For the past 20 years, I have sought out and practiced healing methods that touch not only my mind, but my whole being- body and spirit as well. This has lead to the most thorough time effective growth and change in both myself and my clients.
These methods range from neuroscience & body-based Trauma Recovery therapy, to Mindfulness-based therapy for becoming aware of and correcting negative unconscious beliefs that influence how we operate in the world, to harnessing the power of the mind, heart and intention for focused healing at an energetic level, to engaging in Expressive Arts, Somatic Sandtray & Play therapy, Psychedelic-Assisted therapy & Eco-therapy connecting with the greater-than-human world surrounding us.
Specialize: PTSD & TRAUMA (all types, ICBC, CVAP), DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ANGER, LOW SELF WORTH, LIFE MEANING, BELONGING, PERSONAL, RELATIONAL & SPIRITUAL issues, SHADOWWORK, CO-DEPENDENCY & NARCISSISTIC ABUSE recovery
