My Counselling Approach
Experience healing with a compassionate EMDR Therapist specializing in Anxiety Treatment Therapy. Discover a trauma-informed, relational approach for personal growth and connection.
Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or deep emotional overwhelm, I offer a grounded, supportive space for healing.
Trauma Focused Therapy
My counselling services are grounded in a relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed lens. As a trauma therapist, I believe that true healing happens in the presence of safety, compassion, and connection.
We all have the capacity to heal and grow, especially when we’re given the opportunity to slow down and tune into our thoughts, bodies, and emotions with care. With curiosity, self-compassion, and the supportive presence of a skilled therapist, meaningful change becomes possible.
As an EMDR Therapist, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR works differently from traditional talk therapy, it taps into the brain’s natural ability to reprocess painful memories in a way that’s less overwhelming and more integrative. It’s especially powerful in Trauma Focused Therapy, as it can bring deep relief from anxiety, emotional distress, and past wounds.
In addition to EMDR, I also integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method techniques for couples. These approaches are rooted in attachment science and help partners build connection, restore trust, and communicate more effectively. Whether you’re in need of support as an individual or working to heal within a relationship, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.
I work with adults (18+) and specialize in Trauma Focused Therapy, anxiety treatment, relational wounds, and emotional health. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck in patterns, disconnected from themselves or others, or ready to explore their healing journey more deeply.

A Holistic Approach to Counselling
As a former nurse and now a certified EMDR Therapist, I bring a holistic perspective to therapy. I recognize how trauma, stress, and emotional disconnection impact not just our minds, but our physical health and relationships too. My goal is to hold space for the full complexity of your experience, with empathy, presence, and hope.
I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your path toward healing and self-discovery.
