At Atlas Therapy we take a trauma-informed approach when working with clients. Our therapists are trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Somatic Therapy and Brainspotting to help clients process trauma both on the cognitive level but also that which is help in the body and nervous system. We provide a safe and supportive space for you to work through your experiences, address associated symptoms like flashbacks or nightmares, and develop healthy coping strategies. By fostering a sense of safety, trust, and empowerment, we help you to rebuild your life, regain a sense of control, and find new meaning, joy and resilience in the aftermath of trauma.
I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level II). I approach trauma from a physiological perspective, discussing the body and the stress response. I will work with you to help you learn mindfulness strategies, so you are able to become relaxed and grounded in the present moment. When you are ready, we can explore your traumatic memories in a safe way. I take a strength-based approach to working with trauma, highlighting your personal strengths, resiliency, and your desire to grow.
My work within the past fifteen years includes working in addictions, sexual assault, private practice and hospital social work. Through the years, I have provided individual, couples and group counselling. I have facilitated family meetings and provided advocacy and provision of referrals. I use a trauma informed client centered approach. I work with the client co-collaboratively to provide a treatment plan.
Trauma is a deeply personal experience and it can feel difficult to know where to turn for support because reaching out can feel unsafe. While I do not offer services for PTSD, we have many therapists at our clinic, Psychotherapy Collective, well positioned to support you.

Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., B.Ed., M.A., RP (Qualifying), EMDR Trained Therapist
As a therapist specializing in PTSD and trauma, I offer a comprehensive approach by integrating EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Through EMDR, I help clients process and reframe traumatic memories, fostering healing and resilience. IFS allows us to explore and understand the various parts of yourself that have been affected by trauma, guiding you toward inner harmony and self-compassion. Together, we work to uncover the root causes of distress, develop effective coping strategies, and empower you to reclaim your sense of safety and well-being.
