Trauma Therapy / EMDR / Brainspotting / DBR Trauma Therapist in Ontario

Online Trauma Therapy for Lasting Healing

About Me

Compassionate Care,
Rooted in Experience

Trauma changes the brain and body. You don't have to spend your life simply surviving. We do have the capacity to heal and rewire.

I specialize in trauma therapy and root-cause healing, helping clients move beyond simply managing symptoms or relying on coping strategies.

With 23 years of experience as a Trauma Clinician and psychotherapist, I provide specialized therapy for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and painful emotional and behavioural patterns.

My approach focuses on the brain, body, and nervous system, helping clients process unresolved trauma and understand the deeper roots of their symptoms. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy is designed to support meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater emotional freedom, stability, and connection.

Online Trauma Therapy Across Ontario

Since 2020, I have provided virtual trauma therapy to clients throughout Ontario, including clients in St. Catharines, Oakville, Milton, Toronto, Ottawa, Burlington, and communities across the province.

Online trauma therapy can be highly effective. Many clients find that being in the comfort and privacy of their own home helps them feel safer, more relaxed, and more comfortable engaging in deeper therapeutic work.

If you are struggling with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or recurring painful patterns, therapy can help you address what is underneath the symptoms—not simply learn to cope with them.

With specialized experience in trauma processing, my goal is to help you heal at the level of the brain, body, and nervous system, so you can move beyond surviving and begin building a life in which you can truly thrive.

A Specialized Approach

Healing at the Root Level

Trauma changes the brain and impacts the body, but healing is not impossible. I specialize in complex trauma processing and trauma-focused therapies, with advanced training in approaches designed to help you heal at the root level. My work integrates EMDR, Brainspotting and Deep Brain Reorienting to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and lasting change. The goal is never just coping strategies alone.

I focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of emotional distress so your brain, body, and nervous system can heal together. Whether you're carrying complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, or the weight of experiences you've never fully processed, I tailor treatment to you.

My approach is warm, direct, and honest. I believe in being real with you, gently challenging the places where you might be stuck, and celebrating the progress you make along the way. I provide a space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we work toward deeper healing, resilience and renewed sense of well-being.
