      <image:title>Home - Do you find yourself feeling trapped, stuck in the same patterns?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Do you have replaying thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, images, or memories that are a constant reminder of past pain? If you’re here, you may be holding big emotions and are unsure how to manage it; you may be having intrusive thoughts; you may have thoughts about not being good enough or inadequate; you may be experiencing a fear of other’s judgment, rejection, or fear of loved ones leaving; it may be difficult to trust others or you trust too easily; you may be feeling helpless and/or out of control; you may struggle to be present; you may sometimes feel like you say, do, or feel things that do not feel like you; you may engage in impulsive behaviours and be unsure why; you may use substances, food, or other means to numb and cope with past pain and future fears; and the need to detach, avoid, or numb from yourself and others is sometimes strong. Carrying all this weight can be terrifying and scary. It can make us feel lost, out of control, trapped, disconnected, alone, and isolated. It could make us question and doubt ourselves. It can feel like the world is constantly crumbling beneath our feet. I am so glad you are here. Things do not need to feel or be like this. The pain of your past does not need to control your future. You can take back the reigns and reclaim your life; your sense of control. Together we can work to reignite your sense of purpose and meaning. My name is Nicole and I offer a compassionate space to explore the root of these day to day difficulties. Together, we can work to overcome the voices, images, memories, emotions, sensations of the past. Through exploration, we can better understand how your past is impacting your present and create a more compassionate understanding of yourself and the motivation. With new tools for managing these difficult emotions, you can regain control of your own story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Approach - EMDR</image:title>
      <image:caption>EMDR is an evidence-based approach for the treatment of trauma. EMDR understands that when something that is overwhelming occurs, the image, sounds, smell, thoughts, feeling, body sensations, memories, etc. can get locked or stored in its raw, unprocessed, and maladaptive form (dysfunctionally stored information) leaving you unable to make sense or process what happened (information is left in state-specific form). This also stops us from connecting with more adaptive information. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation which can occur using several different forms such as eye movements, tapping or kinesthetic, tactile using buzzers, and auditory stimulation to process information and connect to the more adaptive information. Bilateral stimulation allows individuals to have one foot in the past while having one foot in the present and activates the brain in a way similar to REM sleep. EMDR has its focus in addressing memories or themes that are the root of the symptoms that are experienced. We work to identify and process those root memories that are impacting current functioning.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Approach - Parts Work - Ego State, IFS-Informed, &amp; Theory of Structural Dissociation</image:title>
      <image:caption>All these therapies explore parts of the personality in different ways. Ego States understands that an individual’s psyche consists of several egos, states, parts, different identities, and/or roles. These states consist of their own emotions, thoughts, skills, and traits. Ego state therapy involves identifying, investigating, and exploring these different roles of the individual and working towards integrating them into the self. Internal Family Systems understands that all individuals have parts and a core Self that knows how to heal and work towards becoming more integrated. It understands that sometimes these parts take on extreme roles that can impact daily functioning. IFS involves exploring and working with parts of self and working towards helping younger parts (exiles) to unburden. Theory of structural dissociation posits that no one is born with an integrated personality and instead individuals grow up with different ego states that handle different needs such as attachment and exploration with all of these ego states over time developing into a coherent personality. Unfortunately, sometimes due to trauma, this process can be disrupted resulting in different ego states and conflicting needs, traumatic memories, or parts stuck in mental actions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Approach - Dialectical Behavioural Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dialectical Behavioural Therapy explores dialectics which argues that two opposing forces can both exist together and be true. For instance, change and acceptance can be seen as two completely opposing forces that can both be true. When it comes to acceptance, we often want to work to accept certain things that are beyond the ability of changing (i.e., the past as it has already happened) however, we do not want to be accepting of everything as if we begin to accept everything, then we are reluctant to change things that actually can be changed. If we are quick to push change, then we are never able to accept certain aspects that cannot be changed which could result in further pain and devastation. Dialectical behavioural therapy explores different modules that are important when it comes to our day to day. It explores the importance of mindfulness and being present in the moment. Often, when we are feeling low, we are pulled towards our past and can sometimes get lost in what has happened and when we are anxious, we are often pulled into the future with fears of what could be. Mindfulness works to focus on the present, the right now rather than getting trapped in fears of the past or future. Distress Tolerance focuses on building skills to use for crisis situations that can help us cope. Emotion regulation focuses on learning more about emotions, what they provide, and how to regulate, radical acceptance is explored to assist in turning towards acceptance. Lastly, interpersonal effectiveness helps us to better manage and distinguish interpersonal relationships and skills required to manage these.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Approach - Acceptance Commitment Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Acceptance Commitment Therapy focuses on the acceptance and welcoming of both thoughts and feelings rather than constantly fighting them. It also includes a focus on mindfulness and acceptance as individuals accept what is beyond their control but commit to the things they can do to live a more meaningful life. It explores acceptance, cognitive defusion (changing the way an individual reacts to thoughts and emotions), being present (being non-judgmental or evaluative), self-as-context (understands there is a self beyond experiences, thoughts, or emotions), values (qualities that guide life), and committed action (working towards long-term goals and living a meaningful life that matches values).</image:caption>

      <image:title>What to Expect - Roots.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This approach is aimed to uncover the root of core issues, building an understanding of how this impacts and plays out in the present and/or may be reinforcing issues. I work with clients to learn core skills to manage their day to day and future. I work with clients to be better able to regulate and manage emotions so that they are less scary to experience and face as this is something that culture influences without our conscious awareness. I use a variety of methods to help client's to release pent up emotion that is likely existent from the root of situations that arise.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I know how difficult it can be to be present when our mind is constantly taking us to both past pain and worries about the future. It can be overwhelming and difficult just getting through the day. For several years I have been dedicated to working with individuals who are struggling with their day to day and report a variety of concerns. I have spent several years working in addictions and mental health rehabilitation centers helping individuals with addictions, trauma and PTSD, developmental trauma/complex trauma, dissociative disorders, and mood disorders. Through this work, I have built a passion for helping individuals uncover what is at the root of their day to day difficulties in order to help them to become unstuck and build more meaningful and purposeful lives. Specialties: Trauma and PTSD Complex Trauma/Developmental Trauma Addictions and Substance Use Dissociative Disorders Mood Disorders Hours/Location: Virtual/Online/Telephone Sessions Monday - 9 AM - 5 PM Wednesday - 11 AM - 6 PM Thursday - 9 AM - 4 PM Fee: $170 per hour</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Personal Story and Background: A little about me, I am a creative individual and love to create projects whether it be in my personal life or for work. I like to draw and paint in my free time and am in the process of attempting to learn piano. I love to sing and listen to music. I am very open-minded and love to explore and love to travel when I can. I have been to Japan (twice), New Zealand, and Taiwan. This has allowed me the opportunity to explore, be curious, adventurous, and learn about new cultures. It pushes me to be out of my comfort zone and face things that can be quite scary (canyoning). I am an introvert and find strength and energy in things I can build that represent who I am, my own personal growth, and what has helped me to become who I am today. I love to cook and experiment with different cultural dishes; reading; and learning new things.</image:caption>
