Are you struggling with the effects of trauma, PTSD, or chronic stress? I help individuals and couples heal from emotional wounds that leave them feeling hopeless, anxious, disconnected, or stuck. As a trauma therapist, I specialize in PTSD treatment, trauma recovery, and supporting clients through anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges rooted in past experiences. Whether you're dealing with childhood trauma, workplace burnout, or the lingering effects of a toxic relationship, we can work together toward lasting healing. I help you build resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change. You don’t have to do this alone.
My approach blends clinical expertise with compassion. I use EMDR, Brainspotting, TIST, Ego State Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Gottman and Relational Life Therapy. This integrative method supports trauma recovery by tailoring care to each client and couple’s unique needs.
I am also the Practice Director of Future Focus Counselling Center. If I’m not the best fit or my schedule is full, I will help connect you with a therapist on our team who aligns with your goals. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and in control, you can book a session to get started.

As a therapist, I recognize both 'big T' and 'small t' traumas, understanding their impact on mind and body. My therapy focuses on integrating fractured parts of the self, aiding in recovery and building a cohesive, authentic identity. This approach is key to living a fulfilled, genuine life, free from past trauma's constraints.
