Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.

I work with people who are struggling with intense emotions like mood swings, emptiness, or deep sadness, and those who feel stuck in unhealthy relationships or life patterns. Some of my clients have faced difficult past experiences that make it hard to trust others, feel secure, or connect deeply in relationships. They might carry a sense of shame or guilt, often feel anxious or on edge, and struggle with feeling safe or understood. Many also turn to substances as a way to cope with these overwhelming feelings, leading to challenges with addiction. In addition, they may be dealing with big life changes.

I work with people who are dealing with a variety of concerns, including relationship issues and histories of interpersonal trauma; lack of motivation; depression &/or anxiety; difficulties with feelings; low self-esteem/self-confidence; and gender or sexual orientation issues. Therapy may also address difficulties managing life transitions; grief and loss; confusion related to personal meaning, direction and values; stress management; aging; and health & mental-health related symptoms. I believe a therapeutic relationship needs to be client-centred, warm, safe, supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate, interactive, and respectful.
