June is PTSD Awareness Month 💚

PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. While the impacts of trauma can feel overwhelming, healing is possible and support is available.

This month, let's increase understanding, reduce stigma, and remind those living with PTSD that they do not have to navigate their journey alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out for support is a courageous first step.

Farming can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be isolating and stressful. No matter what you're carrying right now, you don't have to carry it alone.

A new 24/7 mental health support line is now available for Saskatchewan farmers, providing confidential support whenever it's needed. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or simply need someone to talk to, help is available.

Reaching out is a sign of strength. Support is here, and you are not alone. 🌾💚

For some producers, seeding hasn’t even started. Others are battling drought conditions, while many are dealing with fields that are simply too wet. Across the province, livestock producers are still feeding animals due to the late spring and pastures not being ready.

Our team members are producers too, and we understand the challenges this season is bringing because we’re facing many of them ourselves.

You don’t have to carry those challenges alone.
Saskagmatters Mental Health Network Inc. offers Saskatchewan producers, their families, and their employees up to six hours of free counselling each year. Our therapists have agricultural backgrounds and understand the unique pressures of farming. Appointments are available by phone or virtually if you can’t see them in person.

Visit our website @ www.saskagmatters.ca to learn more and connect with a therapist.

If you are in CRISIS and need IMMEDIATE support, the Farm Stress Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please don’t wait to reach out if you need to talk.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

This month is an important reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health. So many people silently carry stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, burnout, and emotional pain while trying to navigate everyday life. Bringing awareness forward helps reduce stigma, encourages open conversations, and reminds people that they are not alone.

I am honored to be part of the Saskagmatters Mental Health Network Inc. and supporting our agriculture community. At SaskAg Matters, we know the heart and soul that goes into farming and agriculture. We also know the unique burdens and stresses that can come with it. Our commitment is unwavering: to provide accessible and understanding mental health support to our resilient farmers and the broader agriculture community. We provide vital mental health support and resources, helping ensure no one feels alone.

It's a privilege to work alongside SaskAg Matters to build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient agricultural future. Thank you, SaskAg Matters.

Happy New Year! Every Thursday we’re re-introducing our counselling team — except this week it’s Friday 😀 and today is Week 7!

🎄✨ Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May this Christmas be filled with warmth, joy, and the love of family and friends.

11/11/2025

On Remembrance Day, we take time to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve in times of conflict and peace. It is a day of collective reflection — a moment to pause, remember, and express gratitude for the freedoms and safety we experience because of their dedication.

10/11/2025

Today is a reminder that mental health matters — every day, for everyone.
As a therapist, I see the courage it takes to face what’s hard, to name what hurts, and to keep showing up for yourself even when it feels impossible.

Let this be your reminder: you don’t have to have it all together. Healing isn’t linear, and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself. You’re worth the care you give to others. 💚

Many clients ask me how EMDR is helpful and what does being certified in EMDR mean vs trained. EMDR has shifted my practice and has become my go-to modality. Being certified in EMDR means I’ve gone beyond the basic training to deepen my skill in helping clients safely process trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain.

✨ EMDR Certification includes:
✔️ Advanced training beyond the basics
✔️ Supervised work with a wide range of clients
✔️ Extensive consultation with EMDR experts
✔️ Ongoing education in trauma-informed care
✔️ Commitment to following EMDR’s evidence-based model

Who can benefit from EMDR?

EMDR is a powerful therapy for people who have experienced:
* Trauma or PTSD (including childhood or relationship trauma)
* Anxiety or panic attacks
* Grief and loss
* Negative self-beliefs and low self-esteem
* Distressing memories that still feel “stuck”
* First responders, survivors, and those navigating life transitions

I'm here to answer any questions you might have. Reach out anytime. 💛

Today, we recognize National PTSD Day, a time to raise awareness of the real and lasting impact of trauma. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is not a weakness—it's a valid response to experiencing or witnessing deeply distressing events.

Many live silently with PTSD, often unsure of where to turn. As a Clinical therapists, I want you to know: healing is possible, and help is available. Evidence-based treatments like EMDR, CBT, and trauma-informed therapy can support recovery and resilience.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, you are not alone. Support exists, and healing starts with that first step.

Hello Spring!!

I have been away from my social media but now want to share what I have been up too….

I flew to Vancouver to attend EMDR Canada’s conference. I was able to tour the beautiful city, enjoy walks along the boardwalk and meet some incredible people in mental health industry.
Gabor Mate, provided an amazing seminar on compasssion fatigue. Robin Shapiro blessed us with her humor and knowledge.

Recently, I took a course on EMDR and Grief. This will be an added tool to my practice.

In the background, I have been studying for my Clincial exam and very excited to share after months of studying, I passed the ASWB exam and officially a Registered Clinical Licensed Social Worker (RCSW).

Exciting things happened in the last few months. Now it’s time to enjoy some spring weather!

I hope you all have had the opportunity to enjoy some sunshine and warm weather.
