I help adults heal from childhood trauma, emotional neglect, anxiety, and the lingering effects of relational wounds. These early experiences often shape how you relate to others, how safe you feel in your own body, and how you see yourself. It can impact everything from your relationships to your self-esteem. You may look like you’re managing, but inside, it’s a different story. Maybe you feel anxious, shut down, or disconnected from yourself and the people you care about. You're tired of just coping, and you’re ready to understand where this pain actually began.
Our work starts by listening closely to your story, your emotions, and your body’s wisdom. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, IFS, and somatic approaches to help you access what’s been buried, and begin to transform it. Based in Ottawa, I offer online therapy in Toronto and across Ontario for individuals and couples.
If you're ready for depth-oriented trauma therapy that goes beyond symptom management, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation directly on my website. Individual sessions are 60 minutes and couples sessions are 75 minutes. I offer limited sliding scale spots to people based on financial need. Please reach out to discuss availability.
