[EN] Trauma and PTSD can continue to affect the present through reactions that feel automatic — withdrawing, becoming highly alert to another person’s response, disconnecting from what you feel, or organizing your life around avoiding certain experiences. My work does not require you to retell everything that happened in order for us to begin. We can explore how the effects of trauma are showing up now, in your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and the ways you have learned to protect yourself.
[FR] Le trauma et le stress post-traumatique peuvent continuer à influencer le présent à travers des réactions qui semblent automatiques — se retirer, devenir très attentif aux réactions de l’autre, perdre le contact avec ce que tu ressens ou organiser ta vie autour de l’évitement de certaines expériences. Il n’est pas nécessaire de raconter en détail tout ce qui s’est passé pour que nous puissions commencer à travailler ensemble. Nous pouvons explorer comment les effets du trauma apparaissent aujourd’hui dans tes pensées, tes émotions, ton corps, tes relations et les façons dont tu as appris à te protéger.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
As you no doubt already know intimately, trauma affects every aspect of our being and functioning. Our brains shut down, our bodies react, our emotions take on a life of their own - or disappear altogether. Our work will start with grounding you and your body in safety, and building awareness and appreciation for the ways our bodies hold trauma for us. Once we have enough safety in our bodies, we can begin offering curiosity to the parts of us that have learned to protect us with varying coping and survival skills. We'll acknowledge and honour the ways our parts knew how to take care of us, even as we invite them into a new relationship within us, where they can be unburdened and we can reconnect with the healing power of our own inner resources: calm, curiosity, compassion, connectedness, creativity, courage, clarify, and confidence. I'll support you in connecting with your wounded parts that long to be healed as only you can do. You will learn to connect with your pain and vulnerability in new ways that brings lasting healing and integration. This is tender work, and we'll take it as slowly as your system needs it to go. Your safety and choice are of utmost importance in this work.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, triggered, or disconnected from your body or emotions? Many people who have experienced trauma learn to protect themselves by avoiding feelings, situations, or memories that feel unsafe. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness.
These reactions are not weaknesses—they are protective responses that once helped you survive. What matters is how we process them now. Together, we can safely explore your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop ways to feel more grounded, empowered, and lighter over time. You survived for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
As a trauma-informed counselling therapist, I have special training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems, two evidence-based practices that work explicitly to bring healing to our traumatic wounds. These modalities have facilitated the healing of my own traumas, and I'm excited to witness how effective they are in bringing healing to those with whom I work.
