Discovering Your Self Beyond Trauma
Every session is a confidential and deeply supportive space—curated and personalized to meet you exactly where you are. It’s a time to explore what may be holding you back from living fully and freely. Here, you are invited into a brave space where pain can be spoken, trauma can be released, and healing can begin.
Through this work, old wounds can be left in the past, present circumstances inform body sensations, creative blocks begin to dissolve, communication becomes more authentic, and the ability to listen deeply—to yourself and others—grows stronger. With time and commitment to your own process, you’ll learn to ask for what you need and trust that you are worthy of every dream you’ve ever carried.
Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, loss, addiction, creative blocks or emotional distress, we walk this path together. Our work together will uncover what has been keeping your light hidden—fear, depression, limiting beliefs, or old survival patterns—and gently bring it into awareness where you can heal. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, identify what truly serves you, and integrate practical tools that support your healing and growth.
This is not just counselling—it is a journey back to your Self.

"When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realize that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives."
— A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, 11th President of India
My Background
I bring to you over 30 years’ experience working on the front lines of Canadian social services: residential treatment centres & independent living case worker, crisis intervention, sexual assault & suicide crisis lines, family reunification supervisor, critical incident debriefing counsellor, self-defence instructor, addictions recovery treatment, eating disorder course instructor, and domestic violence counselling.
Work With Me
Each session will be different. Some days you’ll need gentle listening or active therapeutic modalities. Some days you'll want mentorship and support, others accountability, feedback and support to get clear on goals. There will be yet others when you want a metaphorical kick in the butt. I'm here for all of it.
This is deep, personalized, therapeutic, heart-centred work. We will create ease, find the practices, disciplines and habits you need to make the changes you want. This is about learning to be
devoted
to your Self and unfold your gifts into the world.

My Approach
My primary therapeutic modality is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which serves as the foundation for releasing core trauma. From this place of release, we uncover your true nature and begin to heal the body through a combination of approaches: behavior modification, trauma-informed mindfulness practices, and the gentle exploration of pre-programmed beliefs that no longer serve you.
This work is a process of rediscovery—of self, safety, and possibility. Together, we create space for deep healing, where freedom, clarity, and renewal can take root.
This is where you find freedom.

A Welcoming Space for Healing
This is a TIME when your story, your needs, and your challenges are met with care and presence. Here, you are truly seen and heard. Together, we co-create meaningful goals and uncover your deeper aspirations for healing, abundance, and freedom. This narritive approach offers compassionate listening and support.
Each session offers an opportunity to set intentions and bring awareness to the patterns and habits that may be contributing to your distress. In this process, we explore how to shift what no longer serves you and cultivate greater presence, pleasure, and personal power.
From this place of understanding,
From here, we can intentionally plan for a longer, more focused healing journey—one that supports you in moving beyond suffering and into a more authentic, liberated life.
Psychotherapy is a biological treatment, a brain therapy. It produces detectable physical changes in our brain, much as learning does.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
This session is for those who have already had a single session in preparation for a.R.T.
we focus deeply on a transformative healing approach called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This gentle, evidence-based method is designed to release unresolved patterns stored in the brain—patterns that can keep the nervous system locked in distress.
Through ART, we work to “unhook” from painful memories, allowing you to experience relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of emotional freedom. This process offers a compassionate, focused path toward lasting healing and personal empowerment.
A 90-minute session is designed for follow-up ART work, providing the necessary space to navigate the process with depth and care.

Deep Healing with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
This extended session is designed for clients who are ready to engage fully in the powerful process of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). It’s an ideal choice if you already have clarity about the specific issue you wish to focus on, or if you are working with more deeply rooted distress that requires additional care and time.
For those carrying unresolved trauma, chronic pain, or the lingering effects of addiction, this session offers the depth and spaciousness needed to gently transform the emotional and physical imprints of painful experiences.
With intention and collaboration, we work together to release and replace the negative somatic expressions of trauma. The process unfolds at your pace, with room for integration, rest, and renewal—so that you leave feeling lighter, more empowered, and supported on your healing journey.

WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN ME
JLS PSYCHOLOGIST
Mira's 20 + years of experience clearly show in her ART therapy. Her questions were insightful and reflected clinical experience and knowledge. I felt she could be there for me through anything that came up. She was genuinely caring and interested in my problems, goals, and how I was doing after treatment. I felt both her compassion and her competency.

I was afraid to face the memory, the pain. Mira felt safe instantly but after just a couple hours I felt safe with me! It was amazing. I'd forgotten who I was like the pain was all I had. But now I can hardly remember that pain. Im still surpirsed at how much I changed after only one ART session. I want more!
DANARD W
ORTHOBIONOMY PRACTITIONER
That was deep and profound! I was really emotional after my session, so relieved to have shifted that memory, and there were a lot of shifts! I am still integrating. Thank you, Mira, that has been a long, painful piece in my life.

There is something very rare about the way Mira gently dives into the darkest parts of my nightmare childhood, then she guided me through what my little kid has always needed. I used to eat all my feelings and then hated myself. Working with Mira for only a few months now, and I have stopped binge eating, feel better in my body, have really good ways of caring for myself and am living the life I never thought I deserved but now protect like a mama bear!
I LOVE YOU MIRA!
"Watching your healing path fills my heart. I feel inspired by your songs, honour your journey and value your strength. Thank you for helping bring my music and video plans alive. I trust you with my trauma and feel safe in your care. I am here with you.

“Working with Mira changed everything. I thought after my wife died that I was totally f#*ked. The grief took everything from me. No one understood but Mira did. She woke me up. I got back my wife's love in a new way. Mira understood grief in a way that not only makes sense, but is also total magic."
