Welcome, I’m Alicia. I use EMDR therapy to process trauma and experiences that still shape how you feel, think, and respond. This work targets what remains stuck beneath the surface and creates real, lasting change. Together, we make sense of patterns, build self-trust, and shift how you relate to yourself and others. My style is direct, grounded, and attuned, offering a space that is both supportive and focused, where meaningful work can unfold.
Alongside trauma work, I support athletes and creatives in clearing blocks, accessing flow, and performing with clarity and confidence.

Trauma changes you, but it does not have to define you. It is a chapter in your story, but it does not have to be your entire story. With 14 years of experience working with survivors of childhood abuse, sexual violence, and emotional neglect, I understand the complexity and depth of the pain you may carry. Sometimes that pain manifests itself as complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or dissociation, leading to feelings of helplessness or hopelessness. Healing from trauma can feel like an overwhelming journey, but you don’t have to walk that path alone.

Do you have a specific challenge you are currently struggling with? Is something nagging at you that you can't seem to ignore any longer? Not even sure why you might want to speak to someone, but you're exploring counselling anyways? There are many reasons to seek out counselling. Difficult memories from the past, a recent loss, mounting stress, or just feeling "stuck" can get in the way of experiencing life. There is no one reason and no one right moment to reach out and begin following your curiosity towards self-exploration. I invite you to visit my website for more details.

Trauma has a way of following you — into your sleep, your relationships, your sense of who you are. Maybe you've tried to push through it. Maybe you've told yourself it wasn't that bad. But it keeps showing up anyway. I work with adults and teens across Ontario and Nova Scotia who are struggling with PTSD, trauma, and anxiety. You don't have to keep carrying this alone. I create a space where you can talk honestly — without fear of judgment — and start to feel like yourself again.

I help with trauma, grief, domestic and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, identity struggles, and relationship issues.
Many adults come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or questioning how past experiences shaped who they are today. I support individuals exploring childhood experiences, relational trauma, burnout, people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, grief, and other overwhelming life experiences that may be keeping them in survival mode.
I also work with couples navigating communication difficulties, conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy, and attachment, helping partners build safer, more secure, and intentional relationships.

Past volunteer experience at MDAO & the Sexual Assault Centre Kingston, as well as completing a placement at the Canadian Mental Health Association in 2020.
Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating or shameful. Whether you can't stop thinking about something, never feel good enough, or constantly compare yourself to others, I am here to help. If you are navigating dissociation or flashbacks, struggling with forming your identity or developing meaning in life, I can provide DBT & Trauma informed therapy. Or maybe you're looking for support with leaving a toxic job or relationship, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, or struggle with focusing and completing a task. Understanding our unconscious motivations and defence mechanisms can also be revealing character work.

You love your partner, but find yourself wondering “what happened to us?”. You just keep waiting for things to get better on their own, but they don’t.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you want to make a change and just don’t know where to begin? Do you need a different perspective than that of your friends and family around you regarding your life situation? I have a passion for working with individuals and couples looking to make a change or those who are facing a crossroad or large transition in their lives and are needing some strategies, guidance and support navigating these changes. I like to help guide others towards living their best life using the strength and resources they already have, through skills and practical guidance.

How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
