Trauma Therapy for Adults in Ontario

You may find yourself:

• Constantly worrying or overthinking 
• Feeling responsible for everyone else's needs 
• Struggling to relax, even when life is going well 
• Feeling disconnected from yourself or others 
• Experiencing anxiety, panic, or chronic stress 
• Finding yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns 
• Feeling emotionally numb or shut down 
• Carrying a harsh inner critic 

Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your body, and the people around you. Even when life appears stable on the outside, you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, or a persistent sense that something isn't quite right. 

Many people living with the effects of trauma don't think of themselves as having experienced trauma. Instead, they struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, emotional reactivity, burnout, relationship difficulties, or a persistent feeling of disconnection. 

You may notice:

• Anxiety and chronic worry 
• Difficulty relaxing 
• Feeling overwhelmed 
• Perfectionism 
• People pleasing 
• Difficulty trusting others 
• Emotional numbness 
• Chronic shame 
• Relationship struggles 
• Burnout and exhaustion

My work integrates Compassionate Inquiry, somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and person-centred therapy. Together, we explore not only what happened to you, but how those experiences continue to affect your nervous system, relationships, emotions, and beliefs about yourself.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we gently explore the deeper patterns that may have developed as survival strategies. Healing often begins when we can approach these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and understanding.

I Support Adults Experiencing

• Childhood trauma 
• Complex trauma 
• Emotional neglect 
• Grief and loss 
• Relationship trauma 
• Life transitions 
• Anxiety and overwhelm 
• Substance use concerns

Many of the clients I work with are living with the effects of complex trauma, including childhood experiences, emotional neglect, chronic stress, relationship wounds, and experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and the world around them. 

Trauma therapy is not about reliving every painful experience from the past. It is about creating safety, building self-awareness, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way.

Clients often report:

• Greater emotional regulation 
• Increased self-confidence 
• Healthier boundaries 
• Improved relationships 
• Reduced anxiety and overwhelm 
• A stronger connection to themselves

Together we work to understand and regulate the nervous system, creating greater capacity for connection, resilience, and self-trust. 

 Healing does not require you to have everything figured out before you begin. If you're curious about whether trauma therapy may be helpful, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Together, we can explore what you're looking for and whether we are a good fit to work together. 

I provide trauma therapy for adults throughout Ontario through secure virtual sessions. In-person appointments are also available in Port Severn, serving Georgian Bay, Midland, Muskoka, Orillia, Barrie, and surrounding communities.
