As a trauma therapist, Pamela focuses on the whole person, using a trauma-informed and person-centered approach. This allows clients to receive individualized care based on their unique needs. She works with clients to develop and achieve their treatment goals using experiential and somatic interventions that focus on what lies beneath the symptoms so you can discover opportunities to more fully heal and become who you want to be.
Have you ever found yourself stumbling over the same problem, feeling as though you’re stuck in a performance rut, sometimes referred to as ‘yips’? You might not realize it, but the root of these issues often traces back to our past experiences, affecting us in ways we might not consciously recognize. That’s where techniques like Brainspotting and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) come in. They’re not just buzzwords; they’re tools that can help dig deep into those experiences, unlocking and releasing the emotional baggage that’s been holding you back. It’s about getting to the heart of the matter, looking at the connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This isn’t about rehashing the past for the sake of it; it’s about freeing yourself to achieve your full potential today and beyond. I’m here to help guide you through this process, offering a new perspective on your past, present, and future. Are you ready to tackle this and move forward in a way you never thought possible?
I am certified as a Intergrative Mental Health Professional, Dialectical Behavior Theropy, Clinical Trauma Professional and Yoga Instructor. Trained in Brain Spotting and EMDR and have extensive CE training in Neuro-Biological Theory.

I support women who have experienced betrayal trauma, abuse due to the betrayal and or intimate partner violence, divorce mentoring/coaching. I use Brainspotting as a way to help process trauma due to these experiences. I am passionate about helping women who either choose to stay in the marriage or leave become empowered and healing holistically.

I am finishing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at the end of April. I will be opening my practice shortly after that and I plan to also volunteer at a non-profit organization similar to the one I am in for my practicum. I have a background working in the medical field as an anesthesia assistant and decided to switch careers to counselling because it is a profession in which I developed a significant interest.
