I mainly draw from psycho-dynamic approaches such as Emotionally Focus Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Theory and Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR).
I am a compassionate, gentle and down-to-earth kind of counsellor. I specialize in working with folks who have experienced trauma and/or who struggle with complex PTSD. My work with my clients focuses on healing the beliefs that we have learned about ourselves or the world through traumatic events, abusive relationships or unhealthy upbringings. I am alone, I'm not good enough or my emotions are unsafe are just a few core beliefs that can have a vast and impactful effect on how we feel about ourselves and interact in relationships or in general.

Through the integration of EMDR, somatic therapy and other evidence-based psychological modalities, I guide clients on a transformative journey.
When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

You'll also learn practical somatic tools to self regulate and process emotions.
Many of my clients want to have more control over their emotions, more balance in their relationships, and access a safe space to process challenging aspects of their lives. Together, we co-create a roadmap towards a vision clients have for their lives. My trauma-informed approach always has the nervous system in mind, so I offer body-based tools for self regulation as well as practical strategies for getting your needs met. From a grounded place, we can dive into questions like "How can I move past this feeling?" and "What do I need to be doing differently in order to live the life I want?"

Interventions include EMDR, somatic, and expressive arts.
Are you different? So am I. I specialize in working with people who break the mold. This includes neuro-divergent adults (ADHD, Autistic, C-PTSD), chronically ill, 2SLGBTQ, and racialized people. Focusing on resiliency and emotional intelligence, I use evidence-based practices and creative interventions to use the wounds of the past as seeds for growth. Adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and relationship fractures disrupt our feelings of safety and trust. In order to thrive, we need to heal.

I employ a range of therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).
You might feel trapped in a cycle of emotional exhaustion. Trusting others may seem impossible after past hurts, leaving you yearning for connection yet keeping people at a distance. If codependency has taken over, you might be so focused on others that your own needs have been forgotten, draining your energy and sense of self. And perhaps the fear of aging brings a constant anxiety about what lies ahead. These struggles are real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But imagine waking up each day feeling truly secure in your relationships, confident in your identity, and hopeful about the future.

I use evidence-based approaches to support clients with symptoms of anxiety, avoidance, depression and emotional dysregulation; and specialize in working with traumatic stress, loss, interpersonal challenges, and spiritual/religious trauma.
