STACEY'S STORY

Hi! This is Sammy and Sugar. They are my co-therapists, if you like dogs. They also enjoy time off of work, if you aren't into dogs.

 

Becoming a therapist was not my first calling in life. I spent my entire 20s traveling and gaining valuable life experiences and getting to know me. I was over 30 when I finally committed to spending the next 6-7 years of my life in school and training. But I knew it was the right decision, so I dove in, head first. 

Right before I finished my Masters program, I had relocated from Saint Andrews, NB to Whitehorse, Yukon. I spent 7 years there, working with children, youth and adults in all capacities: group homes, detox centers, schools, community centers, First Nations Offices, private homes, correctional centers, etc. I loved the work, and I loved the North but the East Coast called me home. 

​

I returned back to NB in 2018, and I enjoy working with teens and adults in a client-centered environment, using modalities such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Relational Therapy. I am  trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is a technique that can be very helpful in helping clients manage their somatic (body) reactions to trauma. (www.acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com). I have extensive experiences working in the Veteran and complex trauma population, with training and experience in ketamine-assisted therapy.

I am also certified to use a type of acupuncture called the NADA protocol for treatment of depression and anxiety. 

​

I have a lot of experience in complex trauma, PTSD, and sexual violence and this technique has been particularly helpful, in conjunction with other modalities and tools. 

​

My experience has been centered around trauma work. I am here to offer you tools to help alleviate the pain of past traumas, but I am also here to accompany you on your healing journey through the pain, if you're ready. I value honesty and hope you do too!

​

If you’re suffering, I want to help you to suffer less. If you feel lost, I am here to assist and guide you. If you need a hand rebuilding, I’m here to walk beside you. I look forward to meeting you.
