Support for grief, trauma, addictions, negative relationship patterns,
compulsive coping, and all the places where the past keeps showing up in the present.

• Compulsive habits and toxic coping •

Through connection, intention, words, sounds, and attentive presence
to your nervous system, we pick up what has been fragmented
and work together until it begins to organize itself again.
Something in you already knows the way.
Perhaps not yet as certainty,
but as a quiet orientation,
a pull toward what is truer, kinder, stronger and more alive.
Mira Black, Counselling Therapist
ACTA #2702
When the past keeps showing up in the present
I offer confidential counselling for people navigating the places where cognition, achievement, intelligence, and determination are no longer enough to change what's not working or solve what still hurts.
Shifts will begin as you unhook old learning, find new perspectives, develop concrete goals, create nervous system support, increase mindfulness and measurable behaviour changes.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, (A.R.T.) an approach designed to work more directly with distressing memories, images and emotional responses.
When appropriate, A.R.T. can offer another way of working with painful experiences, persistent emotional responses, and patterns that continue to affect your present life.
Bring to these sessions, the question you cannot seem to answer alone.
We can begin there.
Clarity, connection, and CONCRETE changeS
Sessions are collaborative, practical & conversational.
We may work with thoughts, emotions, memories, nervous system responses, boundaries, toxic relationship or behavioural patterns and the meanings you have made from what has happened to you.
Together, we will clarify what you want to change, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop concrete ways of responding differently outside the counselling room.
Depending on your needs, our work may also include mindfulness, creative approaches, emotional processing and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Here you don't need to tell your story again and again. We will work directly with the somatic responses in the present that are being effected by the past.
This is presence work made practical, tangible, and portable.
I will walk beside you through what feels uncomfortable, dark, unclear, overwhelming, or difficult to name, until more ease becomes possible.
In person meeting are usually in my office located in Makenzie Town, Calgary AB.
Virtual sessions are availalbe.
I recomment at least the first A.R.T. process be in person if possible.
I have traveled out of province in support of those who wish to have a more in person or intensive retreat style individualized experienced.
Session length depends on the kind of support we are doing together.
We will decide this collaboratively, based on your goals, comfort, energy, and capacity.
- First session: often 90 minutes, giving us time to connect, understand what brings you in, and discuss what support may be most useful.
- Ongoing counselling: usually 60 minutes when we are talking, processing, and developing practical strategies.
- First A.R.T. session: usually booked as a 3–4 hour block so there is enough time to move through the process without rushing.
- Follow-up A.R.T. sessions: generally 90–120 minutes.
You do not need to fit into a rigid program.
We will co-create an approach and pace that makes sense for your needs, nervous system, capacity, and goals.
I have a section on my website called "Investments" that break things down very clearly -

Currently, I do not "sell" my art.
It is gifted to all but it is also tender and raw and honours elements of musical empathy, open hearted vulnerabilites both mind and yours.
Concerts and retreats are attended by invitation and though it's actually not difficult to find my public recordings, I have some private spaces where I process my writing and hone my craft with those who can witness with respect and maybe even love.
Ask me if you're curious to hear more.
