Hi, I’m Sandra
Canadian Certified Counsellor
Trauma-Informed Counselling for Women in Midlife
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a background in communications. I work primarily with adult clients, with a special focus on supporting women in midlife (40+) who are navigating trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions. My work integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
Specializing in Accelerated Resolution Therapy ®(ART)
ART is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy that helps people process distressing memories and symptoms by changing how those memories are stored in the brain. ART uses guided eye movements and visualization techniques to reduce emotional and physical reactions to past experiences while allowing you to stay fully in control. Many clients report significant relief in just a few sessions. Trauma and many other issues can often be resolved in just one session, and you do not need to describe your trauma in detail to benefit.
