Socrates said "to find yourself, think for yourself". Our thoughts shape our perceptions and often affects how we may respond to experiences. We have been conditioned for approval, acceptance and worthiness, how we internalize this programming into our conscious and subconscious minds can lead to self doubt, self criticism and self sabotaging choices. These thoughts become patterns and beliefs that often get played out in how we function in relationships. Learn how to honor your unmet needs, to find healthier ways of managing these conflicts and ways to deepen your connection to self. Awaken yourself to new possibilities.

I offer EMDR therapy with CBT to support healing from anxiety, OCD, and stress or trauma, often from relationships or earlier life.
Starting therapy can feel like finally opening that storage space you've been avoiding. It's full of things you don't want to deal with but know you have to. Some of it makes sense, and some of it... you don't even know how it got there, and it probably should have been thrown out a long time ago.
I work with people who are stuck in patterns of overthinking, high stress and anxiety, bracing for something bad to happen, or repeating old patterns that no longer serve them. Sometimes it the endless stress of daily life, and sometimes it is difficult life experiences that hold us back. Often, it is both.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
