Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Kingston, ON
I focus on helping people deal with intrusive thoughts related to many issues, like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), PTSD, and anxiety.
My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

If you are struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, stress, or are feeling unfulfilled in relationships, I can help.
I am a trauma therapist, and work to allow for rapid shifts in your life. I don't want to band aid your symptoms, I work with the root of the problem to get permanent changes in your patterns. Coping skills are great (breathing exercises anyone?), but taking care of the core of the issue allows our body and brain to not NEED those skills nearly as much.

I take a trauma-informed, solutions focused, CBT approach to therapy.
Are you a woman in your 20's or 30's with ADHD, anxiety and/or depression? Do you have a hard time saying no, regulating big emotions, or saying what you mean? You're exhausted from putting on a mask and faking it just to get through each day, only to collapse into doom scrolling until you fall asleep at night. You have a hard time making decisions, and feel like your body is stuck in fight-or-flight. You've tried all the things - exercise, meditation, affirmations, daily planners - but nothing seems to help. It's starting to impact your most important relationships - be it romantically, with family, friends, school or work

I have worked extensively with people living with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, developmental trauma and other psychological disorders.
Living in a fast-paced society can often make us feel burned-out, chronically anxious, depressed and alienated from those we love the most. Too often, we are "working for the weekend", and when it comes we have precious little time to spend doing the things that bring us meaning and strengthen our most important relationships. I approach mental health issues as arising primarily from our needs being inadequately met by the community and world around us. So there's a disconnect between how we evolved and where we are now. I also do ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with the Canadian Centre For Psychedelic Healing.
