When Trauma, Grief, or Past Experiences Still Affect You

EMDR Therapy for Trauma, Grief & Life Transitions

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy recommended by the World Health Organization for trauma and PTSD. It helps reduce the emotional intensity of distressing experiences.

EMDR may also support grief and loss when painful memories or unresolved experiences interfere with the grieving process.

Who we work best with?

We work with adults who appear capable and responsible in their daily lives, yet feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or impacted by unresolved experiences, grief or major life transitions.


Many clients come to therapy after years of carrying emotional pain internally while continuing to function outwardly. This work is especially supportive for those seeking deeper emotional healing, self-understanding and meaningful change - not only symptom relief.


EMDR therapy is most effective when approached with consistency, emotional readiness, and a pace that feels supportive and grounded.

GRIEF, TRAUMA & LIFE TRANSITIONS THERAPY Across Canada

Online EMDR Therapy across Ontario and Quebec, PTSD Treatment and Trauma-informed therapy

Healing from painful experiences is possible—you don’t have to carry it alone.

EMDR helps the brain process distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity in the present. It can be especially helpful when memories, grief, or emotional reactions continue to feel “stuck.”

What to Expect

In EMDR Therapy

EMDR begins with preparation and stabilization, ensuring you feel supported before processing difficult experiences or emotionally overwhelming memories.


Sessions are paced thoughtfully and collaboratively, with attention to emotional safety, grounding, and your individual needs and goals.


While EMDR can create meaningful shifts, the focus is not speed - it is supporting lasting emotional healing and deeper integration over time. 


Regular sessions are often recommended to support steady and meaningful progress.

Your session

Not everyone heals the same way, and you shouldn't have to fit your healing into a one-size-fits-all box. Whether you're looking for steady weekly support or a more concentrated path forward, there's a format here that can meet you where you are.

Your first session is a full 50-minute appointment — we'll talk through what's bringing you in, and start the work of EMDR together. No separate assessment fee, no waiting room before the waiting room.

Find the pace that works for you

Individual session - (50 min)

A steady, weekly rhythm to process at a comfortable pace. This is also your first session with me.

Extended session - (90 min)

More time in the room means more room to go deep on a single memory or pattern without watching the clock.

Half-day intensive - (3 hours)

For when you're ready to move faster. Includes preparation and integration time, so you leave grounded, not raw.

Full-day intensive - (6 hours)
