Heal what holds you back. Because healing the nervous system and honoring the soul are not two separate journeys.

Psychotherapy

This space is for you if you are experiencing:

  • A history of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or parentification
  • Feeling “too much” or “not enough,” no matter how much you achieve
  • Chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, shutdown, numbness, or persistent overwhelm
  • Relationship patterns such as people pleasing, over-giving, or conflict avoidance
  • Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
  • Trauma related to addiction, either your own or that of a loved one
  • Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, wellbeing, or safety
  • Grief, loss, spiritual distress, or major life transitions
  • Being a helper or healer (therapist, nurse, educator, coach) who “knows all the tools” but still feels stuck

When the nervous system feels sfe, clarity, connection and momentum can emerge naturally, without force.

You do not have to minimize what happened or have it all together to be here. We start exactly where you are.

A Trauma-Trained, Nervous-System Focused Approach

Trauma-informed therapy recognizes how trauma impacts the nervous system, emotional regulation, beliefs, relationships, and overall functioning. Being trauma-trained means I have completed specialized education in trauma treatment and understand how to work at a pace that honours both safety and healing.

In psychotherapy, my role is not to push you through your story faster. My role is to help your nervous system feel safe enough for healing to unfold.

  • A history of childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or parentification
  • Build safety and stability first in your body, environment, and relationships
  • Move at a paced, collaborative rhythm
  • Track your nervous system states and learn regulation tools that actually work
  • Explore your beliefs, patterns, and protective parts with compassion, not shame
  • Gently process and re-pattern traumatic experiences
This is not about fixing you. It is about helping your whole system update to the reality that you are safer now than you were then.

Areas I Support

I work with adults experiencing:

  • Complex Trauma & Childhood Adversity
    Emotional neglect, parentification, chaotic homes, high-conflict or emotionally unstable caregivers.
  • Attachment Wounds & Relationship Trauma
    Insecure attachment, difficulty trusting, feeling unlovable or “too much,” fear of abandonment.
  • Neurodivergence & Trauma
    ADHD, sensory sensitivity, late diagnosis, masking, chronic overwhelm, and the exhaustion of living in a world not designed for your nervous system.
  • Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
    Death, separation, divorce, medical crises, career shifts, or identity changes.
  • Members of the Canadian Forces and Veterans
    For over 15 years, I have supported active Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, and those transitioning through medical or service release.
  • Addictions & Families of Addiction
    Substance use, codependency, and the impact of addiction on partners, children, and loved ones.
  • Burnout in Helpers & Healers
    Therapists, nurses, social workers, educators, first responders, and coaches who have spent so long caring for others that they have lost connection with themselves.
  • Spiritual & Systemic Trauma
    Harmful religious messaging, spiritual confusion, moral injury, or feeling disconnected from yourself, your faith, or the meaning you once held.

Psychotherapy

What Happens in Sessions?

You are always encouraged to pause, ask questions, or slow the pace. Your voice matters. We move at a rhythm that feels safe for your nervous system because healing does not happen through pressure.

  • Build regulation tools to support you between sessions
  • Explore trauma memories, attachment wounds, and recurring patterns
  • Work with protective parts, inner child experiences, and identity shifts
  • Create practical changes in relationships, boundaries, and daily life
  • Integrate emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of healing
  • Talking through areas of need and emotional processing
  • Somatic and nervous system regulation practices
  • Trauma processing approaches such as Brainspotting and EMDR-informed interventions
  • Skills-building for coping, boundaries, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation
  • Parts work, identity integration, and meaning-making

The tools behind this work.

Evidence based. soulfully applied.

I integrate trauma-informed clinical approaches with somatic, relational, and spiritual practices because lasting change happens when the whole person is supported.

Over the past 15+ years, I have worked across addictions, schools, youth and family services, forensic settings, Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans populations, and community mental health.

No single modality creates healing. Sustainable change occurs when nervous system regulation, emotional processing, insight, and meaning-making work together.

Clinical expertise and spiritual wisdom work as one. All ways, always.

Not sure which path is right for you? We can explore this together during a consultation call.

I am ready to heal.

You feel anxious, overwhelmed, triggered, grief, and stuck in patterns that are exhausting.

You are carrying weight from your past. It shows up in your body, your relationships, your nervous system, and your sense of self. You deserve more than simply surviving. Therapy can help you move from understanding your pain to healing it.You need the coping, and release.

Psychotherapy is available to residents of Ontario and Quebec and may be covered by extended health insurance.

I am ready to Expand.

You feel capable of something deeper, but unconnected to your next evolution.

You have done significant inner work and know there is more available to you. The self-awareness is present, yet something still feels blocked. Coaching supports identity expansion, visibility, purpose, and embodiment so you can step fully into who you are meant to be.

Coaching is available international. It is up to the client to check on local or business insurances for coverage.
