Trauma Focused Therapists in Georgina, ON
It can be hard to know who you are. We base everything we do off of our personal values and the experiences we've had. Sometimes you can feel lost, not knowing where to go next, not knowing who you are. Maybe you're wanting to change careers because you're not enjoying the daily routine, maybe you find yourself with unsatisfied about who you are and who society wants you to be, or maybe you've followed your family's ways for so long that you are left wondering who you are as an individual. How do we know who our authentic selves are? What does it mean to live our authentic lives?

Sex and relationships are a core part of who we are - and often some of the most challenging parts of our lives. Healing begins when we can feel safe in our own bodies. When we reconnect with that sense of felt safety—physically, emotionally, relationally—it becomes possible to explore pleasure, identity, desire, and connection in a way that feels empowering and true to you. People see me when they are feeling disconnected from their partners - and often themselves, looking to heal from sexual trauma, explore kinks, 2SLGBTQ+ concerns or considering non-monogamy.

Are you a new or soon-to-be mom/parent? Are you finding yourself anxious, sad, exhausted, short-fused or overwhelmed? Do you at times long for feeling like yourself again? Maybe you're feeling consumed by the amount of expectations put you, plus you're hard on yourself too. I believe it is possible to live an empowered, connected, and fulfilling life even when we are pushed to our absolute limits. That said, I think we can both agree, something has to change and having someone to talk to, who can also provide some tools and strategies, would be pretty good idea.

My expertise is in working with clients who have recently experienced acute trauma. I help them manage situations where they are experiencing panic attacks, freezing in public or situations where they didn't before, anxious feelings and intrusive anxious thoughts. I also help to manage "re-living" experiences like flashbacks and nightmares following trauma. So if you've experienced an armed robbery, sexual assault, been cheated on, or anything else that challenged your way to cope and are having trouble finding your way back, I can help you reestablish a sense of safety again.

Veritas is Latin for truth, which is a central value in my therapeutic approach. People have a tendency to mask what they are actually experiencing, subscribing instead to behaviour dictated by social norms. Over time, suppressed emotional suffering manifests itself in disorders such as anxiety, explosive anger, panic attacks, addiction, and depression. While many modern therapies focus on treating surface symptoms (band-aid solutions), I believe in getting to the root of the suffering to help clients gain insight so that they can truly grow, heal, and flourish.
