EMDR

I am a Certified EMDR Therapist specializing in trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, structural dissociation and DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is considered to be the gold standard of trauma treatment in the world. The efficacy of this treatment has been demonstrated repeatedly. Please visit the EMDR Canada website for more information at https://emdrcanada.ca

Clinical Practice

I work within a combined framework of client-driven, task-centered and problem-solving models, grounded in a strength-based perspective. I draw from multiple theories of practice including biopsychosocial, social learning, and systems when determining the best therapeutic approach for successful client outcomes.
