Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Midland, ON
Also, I have obtained numerous certificates that allow me to effectively work with complex trauma reactions.
As a social worker/psychotherapist, I have 14 years of extensive clinical practice supporting individuals who have endured past and present traumatic and hurtful life experiences. I guide individuals out of painful emotions, thoughts, somatic reactions, and behavioural patterns by creatively combining trauma-informed therapies that foster personal growth and transformation. Recovering from traumatic and adverse life experiences is not a linear process. I support individuals throughout all the stages, challenges, and transitional periods one encounters during healing.

I have experience working with anxiety, mood, trauma, eating disorders, personality disorders, relationship concerns and stress.
Everyone has their own experiences in life which at times can seem daunting and having an empathic, objective person supporting you can make a massive difference. Whether you are navigating social struggles, understanding your identity, or are needing help recovering from mental illness, you are not alone and I am here to help. I fully believe everyone is unique, we all have our own unique brains and walk unique paths. This means there are treatments, and these need to be adapted to fit each unique person. I approach each client with an empathic, collaborative, and integrative approach considering your personal identity.

I work individually with adults and young adults, addressing a variety of concerns, such as signs of chronic stress and burnout, life transitions, workplace challenges, navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, chronic pain, concussion recovery.
It can be hard, at times, to balance all life demands. You might experience being disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you find that your needs are at the bottom of your priority list. In times of uncertainty, more and more, it is not uncommon to face feelings of prolonged stress, anxiety and overwhelm. We mind find ourselves without options to cope, or that the strategies we usually resort to are not getting us far. We might feel getting close to burnout, being stuck on intricate conflicts, or even having to deal with the physical manifestations of distress, such as chronic illnesses and chronic pain.

My understanding of stigma, trauma, and power and control dynamics in relation to how people adjust and cope provides me with a unique ability to assist clients in developing fresh perspectives and gaining a new understanding of themselves and the people in their lives.
Feeling isolated and misunderstood is a common result of the stress and emotional strain of coping; whether the concern is addiction (your own or that of someone close to you), domestic abuse, trauma, caring for a loved one with a chronic condition, depression, anxiety, or other challenges. I take an eclectic client centred, empathic approach to assist clients in the development of effective coping skills, making life style changes, strengthening relationships, and making new connections in their lives. Over the past 20+ years I have had the privilege of witnessing clients cope more effectively and thrive.

As a woman, it’s so SO hard to walk in those shoes (or steel toe boots, flip flops, heels, whatever they are). You’ve been trying to do it all and be so strong. You’re amazing. And at the same time, you don’t have to sort through it alone: the toxic and codependent relationships, the body image pressure and never feeling like you’re enough, the huge plate load of things you take on every single day, and the sexual trauma or abuse that you carry as you try and just…live. It’s A LOT. And you deserve to find some peace and relief with it all. So what if all it takes is some therapy sessions to get that relief?

I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed approach with a focus on attachment, and use a blend of other methods as needed for each client.
Life can be painful at times. We might notice issues in our relationships, self-esteem or overall wellbeing. We can get stuck in patterns or reactions that don't feel good. We might feel overwhelmed during times of transition (maybe parenthood or school). Or experience symptoms of anxiety or depression - telling us that something is up. You'll find our sessions to be a trustworthy, supportive environment, where you can get the guidance you're looking for and feel comfortable to do the deeper reflection needed to make meaningful change. Together, we can explore what's troubling you, develop new perspectives and help you cope better.

Have you ever felt utterly alone, anxious, and disconnected? I too felt unsure, overwhelmed, and had trouble coping with life’s curve balls. My journey involved learning to lean into discomfort, to be open and vulnerable, and that one wrong turn does not mean the end. By opening up my authentic self to others and to myself, I learned that I am enough. I believe success in therapy is achieved by using an individualized approach that celebrates the qualities that bring us together as well as those that make us unique. We all face our own battles, but we do not have to go it alone.

Traditional therapy methods assume that everyone’s problems can be solved by participating in weekly 1-hour sessions using one-size-fits-all protocols. This approach focuses on treating disorders, rather than people, and the latest research does not support this approach. I want to understand YOU, as a person. Together we'll figure out the underlying reasons you are stuck, and we’ll create an individualized plan for long-term change. Are your emotions overwhelming? Maybe you feel numb? Do you repeatedly respond to situations in unhelpful ways? Whatever the reasons, we’ll work together to help you take back control of your life.
