EMDR Therapists in Kingston, ON
I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Gottman Method to support healing, strengthen relationships, and process trauma.
Relationships, with others and with yourself, can feel incredibly hard, especially when you've lived through early trauma. That kind of pain doesn’t just fade; it can shape how you parent, connect, and even how you experience your own emotions. You might feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or moments of hopelessness, wondering, “How did I end up here?” Sometimes your body reacts before your mind can make sense of it, leaving you feeling out of control. If you're longing to feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself, you’re not alone. Healing is possible.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist who specializes in helping people just like you process, move through and health their traumatic experiences so that they can get back to the joy of living.
Trauma can leave you feeling completely overwhelmed, lost and like your world has been taken out from underneath you. Your days can begin to feel like one moment of anxiety that crashes into the next, all while trying to keep your head above water and survive. You know that you want to experience the best of yourself, you want to experience joy and ease, but your mental health, repeated thoughts and feelings of difficulty are keeping you down. You want better relationships, you want peace- but your life circumstances just don't seem to allow for it. What if I told you there was a better way to live, and it starts with therapy?

Many of us silently cope with difficulties in our lives. But you don't have to. Reaching out to a therapist for support gives you the opportunity to explore what is holding you back and start improving your quality of life.

I work with individual adults who are experiencing mental health issues (anxiety, depression, etc), trauma, phobias, negative self-esteem, family of origin issues, work issues, and relationship issues.

You find yourself freezing during sex, going numb, unable to stay present. You can’t explain these reactions or predict them. Maybe you find yourself reacting with discomfort or even total disgust to the idea of sex. You hate when intimate scenes come on TV or in movies. You want to connect with your partner in an intimate way, but it feels inaccessible to you. Perhaps there are some difficult experiences in your past, and you find yourself wondering if these may be having an impact on your sex life today; maybe not. Either way, you want things to change because you can’t stop running from this.
