Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Kenora, ON

For over 20 years I have worked in the field of mental health and addictions as a registered psychotherapist. Through many years of practice, I have demonstrated effective treatment of a wide multitude of conditions and mental health disorders. However, I consider myself to be a trauma therapist. To be able to resolve distress in mental health and emotional functioning, I am trained in some of the most effective and evidence-based modalities. I integrate affective neuroscience with traditional psychotherapy to address the neural bases of emotions through a therapeutic approach to modulate cognition and behaviour.

We are a no wait list clinic, so we can address your needs immediately when you are ready. If you are struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, stress related symptoms, or are feeling unfulfilled in relationships, we can help. Stress and past painful experiences can disrupt our well-being and make us feel stuck and show up as uncomfortable symptoms and behaviours. Perhaps you don't want to spend months in a traditional therapy treatment in order to feel better? I also offer EMDR intensives which are multiple sessions in a short period of time or longer sessions for faster improvement.

Life has endless challenges for children, youth and young adults these days. Issues that previous generations didn't even need to think about are now part of every day life for younger generations - cyberbullying, worries about school safety, increased rates of mental health struggles, societal conversations about gender and sexuality... On top of that are the issues that have plagued youth for generations - stress, school, dating, friends, and numerous other issues to wade through day by day. Sometimes it's hard to cope with these things on our own though, and that's where I come in.
