Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Oakville, Ontario

I work with individuals who are looking to overcome their trauma by learning healthier coping skills and more helpful resources, and who want to do deeper processing work to resolve and release trauma in order to let go of the past and move forward in life. I offer both support and solutions, using a client-centered approach utilizing DBT, ACT, EMDR, Somatic Therapy and other modalities.

Therapy can provide opportunities to reflect on the aspects of your life you’d like to change, as well as to explore new ways of seeing and being seen, of connecting and responding to yourself and others. This sort of change can expose us to feeling vulnerable, so I commend you on your courage to consider this next step.

In our work together, we’ll cultivate relational awareness—an essential foundation for emotional resilience. My approach draws from Relational Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, Somatic Awareness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), all grounded in deep compassion.
