I implement an integrative EMDR therapy approach to help support and heal from symptoms of trauma, anxiety and depression.
Trauma, anxiety and depression are on the rise, and it's no wonder with everything that's happened in the last few years. If you are tired of doing everything yourself, having to be strong, to grit your teeth and just get through the day, speaking to a counsellor may help. I am a trauma-informed therapist, and I'm here to offer you room to breathe deeply, to unclench your shoulders and to find a little peace in your day to day life. You have made it through life so far, and now may be the right time to learn and explore new ways of caring for yourself, communicating with your loved ones, and building better supports for the future.

Together we will assess how you're wired to customize your integrative therapy pathway.
You are the "strong one". The leader at work, in your biz, in your family, or with your friends. You keep things to yourself because you don't want to "burden" the people you care about, but secretly wish you could run away, or that someone would step in and take care of things for you. You feel things deeply & have a vision for creating something big in the world but, over-empathizing, deep thinking, imposter syndrome, or anxiety, hold you back. Your self talk is crap & you just can't seem to get people to hear or understand what you're trying to say. You need a safe place to be real & vulnerable without judgement.

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behaviour patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
