About Me
I offer online trauma therapy, guiding individuals through the profound impact of past experiences. My decade-plus experience supporting those affected by PTSD, sexual abuse, or sexual assault means I deeply understand your unique challenges. My background as a hospital chaplain in critical care units informs a compassionate, grounded approach. We can work together to process difficult memories, building resilience and finding a path to healing.
Approach
My sessions start by mapping what feels most urgent for you and setting small, steady steps toward relief and safety. Sessions are held online from Saint John, New Brunswick, in English, with a steady pace that balances focused processing, grounding skills, and brief practical tasks to practice between meetings. I work collaboratively, naming patterns, slowing intrusive memories, and strengthening day-to-day coping so change feels manageable and real. This approach suits adults seeking discreet, evidence-informed support for trauma and PTSD.
