Trauma, EMDR & Addiction Support for High-Achieving Professionals (Online Across Ontario). You’re the one people count on in Ontario—at work, in your family, in your community. You might be a high-achieving professional, a Black woman, an immigrant, or a Black LGBTQ+ person who looks strong on the outside but feels anxious, numb or overwhelmed inside. You hold a lot: racism, family expectations, old trauma, maybe a complicated relationship with alcohol, work or staying “busy.” You’re tired of surviving and pretending you’re fine and you want real change, not just more coping tips.

I offer online trauma therapy across Ontario using EMDR, IFS-informed and somatic approaches. Together we connect the dots between your past and present, map how stress lives in your body, and safely process stuck memories and beliefs. My 8-Week Trauma Reset gives high-achieving professionals a clear, structured path to address trauma, burnout and addiction

If you’re looking at this year and realizing you can’t carry the same weight into the next one, this is a good time to start. Reach out to book a brief consult or first session, and we’ll explore whether the 8-Week Trauma Reset or regular weekly therapy feels like the best fit.

I often use EMDR in my practice. In your first session we will explore what brought you to treatment and decide the most appropriate way to help you make progress. With EMDR we'll manage your symptoms, decrease distressing traumatic memories and regulate your nervous system. During treatment, I will help you minimize distressing thoughts that are caused by traumatic life experiences.
