How I work and what this means for you

As a trauma-informed EMDR therapist, I specialize in assisting individuals healing from complex trauma, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, relational and attachment wounds, and grief. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing occurs within yourself as well as in relationships, fostering safety, compassion, and genuine understanding.

My approach is relational and integrative, blending EMDR, inner parts work, somatic practices, and attachment theory. I often incorporate nervous system regulation and psychoeducation to help you understand your trauma responses and develop tools that foster self-trust and emotional safety.

In session, you can expect a non-judgmental, grounded space where your story is honoured and your pace is respected. We may explore the roots of your experiences, map out your emotional landscape, or process distressing memories in a manner that feels manageable and empowering.

All my session goals are for you to leave the sessions feeling heard, seen, less alone, and more anchored in yourself. Together, we’ll create a new narrative, one rooted in agency, clarity, and care.

My clients have described me as warm, intuitive, and gently direct. I believe that transformation happens not just through insight, but through a felt sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start and someone to hold space with, as you find your way.

Outside the therapy session.

I personally know what it’s like to feel trapped in emotionally harmful relationships and to carry invisible wounds from years of walking on eggshells. I have also grappled with the grief of losing people who were never truly safe to begin with. Because of that, when you discuss the confusion, shame, or longing that arises from trauma bonds or gaslighting, I don’t just comprehend, I feel it in my bones. That lived experience enables me to connect with you not just as a professional, but as someone who genuinely understands it.

Fun Fact: I once joined a salsa competition while travelling and won third place without knowing the rules.

Best piece of advice I’ve been given: Healing isn’t linear, and rest is part of the work.
