Integrative Psychotherapy
for Trauma & Anxiety
in Toronto and Across Ontario
Supporting your healing journey through EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Psychotherapy.
My Approach to Therapy
Healing unfolds most deeply when all parts of you, mind and body, are welcomed into the process.
My integrative approach combines evidence-based trauma therapies, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Psychotherapy, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), and the Havening Technique, with a compassionate, attuned therapeutic relationship.
Our work is collaborative and paced with your nervous system, allowing healing to happen at a rhythm your body can trust.
Through therapy, we can:
-
Heal the parts of you that carry pain and protect you
-
Reprocess and release trauma stored in the body and nervous system
-
Explore unconscious patterns and shadow aspects
-
Calm the amygdala and regulate emotional responses
-
Heal attachment wounds and restore a sense of safety

Who I Work With
I work with adults seeking to understand and heal the deeper roots of anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism. My clients are often highly insightful and sensitive individuals who have spent years “holding it all together” and are ready to feel more present, confident, and free.
What Working Together Looks Like
Our sessions create space for you to slow down, notice, and reconnect. We’ll work collaboratively to uncover patterns held in your mind and body, bringing compassion, curiosity, and awareness to your inner experience. The process unfolds at your pace, with support that feels attuned and steady.
Therapy can help you:
- Reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm
- Heal the impact of trauma or attachment wounds
- Strengthen boundaries and self-trust
- Find balance between caring for others and yourself
- Feel more grounded and connected in daily life
