Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Vaughan
and Virtually Across Ontario

Trauma has a way of living in the body long after the event has passed. You might feel on edge, disconnected, or like the past keeps showing up in your present. You are not broken. Your nervous system learned to protect you. Therapy can help you gently change that.

How I Approach Trauma Therapy

There is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your body, your story, and your goals. Safety and stabilization always come first, and we move entirely at your pace.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy helps you process and heal from distressing experiences that continue to affect your daily life. I use EMDR, somatic therapy, and IFS to help your nervous system feel safe again, at a pace that always feels right for you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. Recognized by the World Health Organization for treating PTSD, EMDR helps the brain process stuck memories, often leading to significant relief within just a few sessions.

Somatic therapy recognizes that trauma is stored in the body, not just the mind. Rather than only talking about what happened, somatic therapy helps you tune into physical sensations, tension, and patterns held in your body. By gently working with these sensations, your nervous system can release stored stress and return to a more regulated, grounded state.

IFS views the mind as made up of different parts, some of which carry pain or protective roles developed in response to trauma. IFS therapy helps you build a compassionate relationship with all of your parts, reducing inner conflict and allowing deeper, lasting healing to take place.

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit from trauma therapy. Many people carry the effects of difficult experiences without meeting the clinical criteria for PTSD. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like past events are still affecting your present, therapy can help.

Yes. I offer virtual trauma therapy to anyone located in Ontario. Online therapy is just as effective as in-person for trauma, and allows you to heal from the comfort and safety of your own space.

Healing looks different for everyone. Some clients experience meaningful relief in 8 to 12 sessions; others with complex trauma work over a longer period. We always move at your pace, prioritizing your safety and stability above all else.
