What trauma can feel like

Trauma is not only about what happened. It is about what your mind and body had to do to survive it, and how they are still reacting today. Trauma can come from one overwhelming event, or from many smaller experiences over time, especially in childhood.

Flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive memories
Feeling on edge, jumpy or always scanning for danger
Shutting down, feeling numb or disconnected from your body
Avoiding people, places or reminders
Strong reactions that feel bigger than the moment
Trouble trusting others or feeling safe in relationships

What I support

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and childhood trauma

You do not need a diagnosis to start therapy, and you do not have to tell your whole story to start healing.

How we work on trauma

Talking about trauma is not always enough, and sometimes it can leave you feeling worse. I work at the level of your nervous system, so your body can learn that the danger is over.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to process painful memories so they lose their charge
Somatic Experiencing to release stored stress and help your body feel safe
Inner child and attachment work for early experiences that shaped how you see yourself
DBT skills for grounding when emotions or memories feel overwhelming

What to expect

We always start with safety and stability. You set the pace, and we only go into memories when you feel ready.

Your first step is a free 15 minute phone consult. Sessions are virtual across Ontario, with in person sessions at my Ajax office.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to talk about everything that happened?

No. Approaches like EMDR and somatic work do not require you to describe every detail. You stay in control of what you share and when.

What is the difference between EMDR and somatic therapy?

EMDR helps your brain reprocess specific memories so they feel less charged. Somatic therapy focuses on the stress your body still holds. I often combine both.

Can therapy help with complex or childhood trauma?

Yes. Complex trauma usually takes longer, and we start by building safety and calming skills before working with harder memories.

Is trauma therapy available virtually in Ontario?

Yes. Virtual sessions, including EMDR, are available to anyone located in Ontario, and in person sessions are at our Ajax office.

How much does therapy cost?

Individual intake sessions are $290 and ongoing sessions are $200. Sliding scale spots are offered when available.

Is therapy covered by insurance?

Sessions are eligible for reimbursement through most extended health plans that cover a Registered Psychotherapist. Receipts are provided after every session.
