Using EMDR, CBT and mindful attention as tools, I pace sessions to match what feels manageable for you, alternating focused processing with practical skill-building. In my Ottawa office I work in English and aim for clear check-ins, gentle titration of intensity, and short between-session experiments to try out new coping steps. Sessions are collaborative: we set targets together, track small changes, and adjust methods when something isn’t landing. Adults who want concrete progress with steady emotional support often find this way of working helpful.
