A ship does not sail with yesterday's wind.
-Louis L'Amour
The collection of memories we each have become a part of our unique human experience. Sometimes past events that were scary, troubling, or traumatic become stuck in our minds and influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present. EMDR is one of the ways we can help understand how the past can affect the present. By working together to gently process the old stuff that is getting in the way, healing and growth can occur.

Nicholas Breitenbach
Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
Trauma and PTSD can leave your mind and body stuck in survival mode—hypervigilant, numb, on edge, or constantly replaying what happened. I offer trauma-informed therapy that prioritizes safety, choice, and steady pacing while helping you process and heal what’s been stored in the nervous system. Using evidence-based approaches, we’ll work on reducing triggers and symptoms, rebuilding a sense of control, and creating healthier ways to cope and connect—so your past stops hijacking your present.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Psyc, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) CRPO & CCPA & BCACC Member
Trauma is not just a collection of painful memories from your past; it lives on dynamically in how your physical body and nervous system react to the present. Whether you are dealing with single-incident trauma or long-term complex trauma (C-PTSD), my approach focuses on creating deep, collaborative safety. Using evidence-based frameworks like EMDR, we gently process distressing memories so they finally lose their sharp emotional charge. Our goal is to de-escalate your body's survival responses, unmask childhood or societal expectations, and help you transition from a state of constant survival into a life of true self-discovery.
