As a trauma-informed therapist, I know how painful it can be to feel stuck in past experiences. That’s why I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — a gentle, fast-acting approach that helps you find relief without having to relive the trauma. 💛

ART is designed to resolve symptoms of:
🔹 PTSD & trauma
🔹 Anxiety & panic
🔹 Grief & loss
🔹 Phobias & more

🌀 Using relaxing eye movements and guided visualization, ART helps the brain “rewrite” distressing memories — often in just a few sessions. You don’t have to talk through every detail to feel better.

✨ Many clients say they feel lighter, calmer, and more in control — sometimes after just one session.

If you're ready to move forward, I’d be honored to support your healing.

Reach out by email or send a message on my website for more information and to book your session.

Last week, I had the honour of learning from the amazing Colleen Clark, who traveled from Calgary to teach our small but mighty group Advanced Accelerated Resolution Therapy! This group here was amazing to be a part of. I am so excited to bring this new level of A.R.T into my practice and share this amazing therapy with you all. Please reach out if you have any questions about A.R.T!

I have had such an amazing opportunity to be an assistant to A.R.T training this week in St. John's. This is the first time NL has hosted this training and to be a part of a community who is helping other amazing therapists learn this therapy is such a privilege.

I have been doing A.R.T for a while now and the healing it has offered is amazing and beautiful.

Tomorrow, I am taking Advanced Training and I am so excited to bring the skills and learning back into my practice and put them into action!

If you would like to learn more about A.R.T or would like to do a session with me, I would be honoured to have the opportunity to assist you while you engage in your healing process.

I will be away for professional development next week. I will be in the office on Wednesday for those who have scheduled appointments for that day and will attempt to check and respond to emails at that time. Otherwise, I will return on Monday, June 16th!

March is Social Work month! I am so grateful for this career and where it has taken me over the years! This career has given me the opportunity to work with some of the most vulnerable populations in a variety of settings and I have thoroughly loved every role I had the privilege to fulfill.

As a Social Worker, I have worked alongside some of the best colleagues and am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from, not only amazing social workers, but I have also learned so much from the people I have had the opportunity to support.

Happy Social Work month to all my Social Work colleagues and friends! So proud of you all and love the amazing humans you are ❤️

Many people who want to attend therapy hold back because they worry about reliving and retelling their story, their trauma. Accelerated Resolution Therapy allows you to share as little details as you want (or none at all) while creating positive images of your choice to replace negative images and sensations attached to the traumatic experience. People can feel relief in as little as 1 session without sharing details of their pain. A.R.T can truly be life changing.

If this sounds like something you want to try, please reach out for more information.

Take the time and the space you deserve to heal. You can create a beautiful life for yourself even if you have grief to process, wounds to heal, and pain to soothe.

Calm Waters Counselling uses evidence-based trauma interventions, like EMDR and A.R.T, that can help lessen the load you've been carrying.
