The experience of feeling seen, heard and understood by another can cultivate healing and help you to reconnect with your inner world. I provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to explore how your current thoughts, feelings and behaviour may be influenced by your past and cultivate your ability to respond to life rather than simply react to it. To determine whether the relationship wou

Healing from trauma happens in phases, with each one building on the last.

🌿 Phase 1: Safety & Stabilization

In the first phase, the focus is on creating a sense of safety and stability. This is about learning coping skills to manage stress and emotions. This phase is not something to be rushed—building a solid foundation sets the stage for Phase 2&3.

🌿 Phase 2: Processing the Trauma

Once the foundation is built, the focus shifts to exploring and processing the trauma. This phase involves working through the difficult emotions and memories associated with your past experiences, at your own pace.

🌿 Phase 3: Integration & Maintenance

This phase is about taking everything you’ve worked on and integrating it into your life in a meaningful way. It’s not just about healing the past, but creating space for a new future that feels aligned with your true self.

Feeling stuck in talk therapy? You might understand your patterns intellectually but still struggle to feel real change. That’s because trauma and stress aren’t just in your mind - they live in your body too, shaping your nervous system, emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and relationships.

True healing goes beyond talking, which is why I integrate cognitive, emotional and somatic therapies to support both body and mind.

🌿Somatic therapies enhance mindfulness and release physical tension and trauma stored in the body.

🌿 Attachment-Focused therapy addresses trauma rooted in early relationships, helping rebuild trust, develop secure relationships, and heal relational wounds.

🌿 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) supports safety, stability, and emotional regulation, as well as processing distressing or “stuck” memories, reducing their emotional charge.

🌿 Cognitive therapy helps with identifying and challenging outdated thought patterns and developing a more balanced outlook.

🌿 Internal Family Systems therapy and other ego-state therapies support understanding and acceptance of different parts of self to restore inner harmony and cohesion.

can support your healing, reach out today 💚.

1 in every 5 Canadians experience a mental health difficulty in a given year.

By the age of 40, 1 in every 2 Canadians will have experienced a mental health issue in their life time.

Those between ages 15-24 are the most likely to struggle with their mental health and substance abuse.

Despite the prevalence of mental health issues, stigma prevents many from seeking help, leading to isolation and increased suffering.

Raising awareness and supporting open conversations about mental health can help change this narrative and create safety for people to seek the care they need.

If you’re struggling with your mental health and feeling uncertain about where to begin, I invite you to reach out for a 15-minute consultation. It’s a supportive space to explore your thoughts and how professional support can help.

You don’t have to navigate this alone ❤️🧠.

Let’s debunk some common myths about trauma therapy

“You have to talk about the trauma in detail to heal.”

Reality: Healing doesn’t always require reliving every moment. Trauma therapy offers diverse approaches tailored to your needs, prioritizing your comfort and safety.

“Trauma therapy is only for extreme cases.”

Reality: Trauma manifests uniquely for each individual, regardless of the severity of events. It’s about addressing internal experiences, making therapy beneficial for anyone grappling with past traumas.

“Therapy will magically erase all the pain.”

Reality: Healing is a journey, not an instant remedy. Therapy equips you with tools and support to navigate challenges and cultivate resilience.
