I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens, focusing on the integration of mind and body to foster a sense of inner peace within the nervous system. My work involves guiding clients to reconnect with themselves, using approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and specialized techniques for nervous system regulation. By addressing how stress manifests both physically and emotionally, I help individuals develop a deeper understanding of their body’s signals and responses.

With each client, I prioritize creating a safe and empathetic environment where they feel seen and understood. My holistic approach allows me to tailor our work to each person’s unique journey, exploring areas such self-esteem, connecting with the inner child and challenges related to ADHD. This individualized support helps clients build resilience and navigate their lives and relationships with greater clarity and confidence.

When things are going wrong, change can sometimes feel impossible. If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve identified something in your life you aren’t satisfied with and you’re ready to try something new.

I believe any challenge we encounter will impact our emotions, our thoughts, and our physical body. By tuning into all three, we can turn signs of distress into sources of insight, and resources for self-soothing and emotional management. To that end, EMDR Therapy is my preferred approach for assisting clients in facing and moving through traumas big and small. Combining the healing power of EMDR with elements of mindfulness, self-compassion, skill-building, and role-play techniques has helped my clients move through difficulties, heal past wounds, and get their lives back on track.

By looking for help, you have initiated a process that can transform your life. My clients show me that it is absolutely possible to feel, think, and react differently, and you don’t have to struggle towards change alone.

Reflecting on our pasts and working to change familiar but unhelpful patterns — whether in ourselves, our relationships, or our family dynamics — can feel overwhelming.

I am on a mission to help women break the intergenerational cycles of trauma. Clients often come to me feeling completely overwhelmed and frazzled, with nervous systems that have an incredibly difficult time settling. As you may know, when you’ve experienced emotional pain, neglect, or abuse in your past, it doesn’t just live in your memories – it shows up in your body.

It is an honour to guide the people I work with through EMDR Therapy and witness the untangling of hurt that’s been holding them back from fully connecting with their partners, children, parents and colleagues. I get so excited when I see clients heal parts of themselves they were previously fully disconnected from and leave therapy feeling clear-headed, confident, and capable both in their inner and outer relationships. Knowing this deep healing work breaks cycles of trauma, not just for my clients but for their children and future generations, makes it even more meaningful.

Experience & Training:

Driven by my natural tendencies toward compassion and curiosity, I pursued graduate school in Counselling Psychology, where I deepened my understanding not only of evidence-based psychotherapies but of intersubjectivity a key ingredient in transformative healing.

Along with my EMDR training and deep passion for working with women who have experienced trauma, I am also trained and experienced in play-based interventions for children and youth including Kalffian Sandplay Therapy. I worked as a counsellor and counsellor trainer in non-profits, the high school system, a hospital, a research lab, private practices and many iterations of my own practice before creating The Trauma Therapy Group. I have unashamedly used my own past pain as a means of motivation and a catalyst for personal and professional evolution.

Many clients dealing with trauma often feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to begin their healing journey. The weight of past experiences can make it hard to trust the process or open up in therapy.

I work collaboratively with clients to build a trauma-informed, empathetic space where they can feel heard and validated. By integrating personalised techniques and strategies, I guide clients through their healing at a safe and manageable pace.

My focus is to empower clients to regain control and resilience, helping them reconnect with themselves and others as they move toward healing and growth.

More About Me:

Growing up as a competitive athlete, I deeply appreciated the connection between mind and body. The discipline, focus, and resilience required in sports shaped my understanding of how physical movement can influence mental well-being. As a Trauma-focused counsellor, I draw on this connection, helping clients explore how trauma impacts both their minds and bodies. By integrating this holistic awareness into therapy, I support clients in their healing journey, empowering them to reconnect with their strength and resilience.

Many clients dealing with trauma feel overwhelmed, restless and stressed, often flooded with emotions like anxiety, guilt or shame. Others may feel very dissociated from their emotions and often isolated from those around them. Traumatic experiences don’t always feel like they’re in the past. When triggered, the associated emotions, images, and beliefs can feel as real and immediate as if they are happening in the present. This can lead to a persistent sense of danger, as if something bad could happen at any moment.

Living through trauma often shapes a person’s core beliefs about themselves, others, and the world, making it difficult to feel safe in relationships or to trust others. The step of seeking counselling can be difficult, but also life changing.

I care deeply about creating a safe, non-judgmental environment for women who have experienced trauma. My goal is to support my clients in integrating their traumatic experiences in an adaptive way, transforming their negative beliefs and self-perceptions, and helping them regain a sense of self-confidence, safety, and calm in the here and now. I believe in a holistic approach, guiding clients to better understand themselves and how their beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors have developed within the context of their personal history. This process helps to initiate positive changes that enable them to build and maintain strong, supportive relationships, feel kindness and compassion for themselves and live fulfilling, meaningful, and values-oriented lives.

My approach to therapy is characterized by openness, authenticity, and empathy. I integrate Schema Therapy and Imagery Rescripting and Reprocessing Therapy (IRRT) to help clients heal from trauma, alongside CBT-approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. This combination has helped my clients to process past pain and develop new, healthier behaviors and beliefs. To work with my brave and resilient clients, and to witness them confront their past pain and move toward growth and healing, is something deeply meaningful to me. I have the utmost respect for my clients and their courage to engage in the therapeutic process.

Experience & Training

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor holding a Master of Science in Psychology and as well a trained CBT Psychotherapist. Over the years, I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient therapy settings, assessing and treating clients with depression, anxiety, trauma experiences, ADHD and personality disorders.

More About Me:

For me, feeling safe and grounded comes from finding balance. I value a comfortable home, where I can recharge through creative activities, nurturing my plants, getting lost in a book, or enjoying a board game night with friends. On the flip side, staying active is just as important for me—I love the energy and flow of dancing Kizomba and Urban Kizz, as well as the calmness that comes from swimming or hiking in nature.
