Honouring Your Story, One Step at a Time

“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.”
— Peter A. Levine

A Gentle Approach to Deep Healing

Trauma does not always announce itself. It can live quietly in the body, in the nervous system, in the way we relate to others or respond to stress. You may feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that do not make sense — but beneath those struggles, there may be a history that is waiting to be understood. 

At Emotional Wellness Therapy, I offer trauma-informed therapy that honours your pace, your voice, and your resilience. Whether you are navigating the impact of childhood trauma, relational wounds, or overwhelming life events, I create a space where healing feels possible — and where you are never asked to go further than you are ready.

What Trauma-Informed Therapy Means to Me

Trauma-informed care is not a technique — it is a way of being. It means I approach every session with reverence for your lived experience and a deep respect for your nervous system’s wisdom. You will not be rushed. You will not be judged. You will be met with warmth, patience, and attunement. My trauma-informed practice is guided by three core principles:

• Safety & Trust — Emotional safety is the foundation of healing. I work gently to help you feel grounded and secure.
• Choice & Voice — You are the expert of your experience. Your voice matters in every step of our work together.
• Strength & Resilience — I see beyond the pain to the strength it took to survive. Together, we build on that resilience to support your growth.

Real-Life Struggles I Support

Clients who seek trauma-informed therapy often share experiences like:

• Chronic anxiety, panic attacks, or emotional dysregulation
• Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
• Persistent negative thought patterns or self-blame
• Feeling “stuck” in survival mode or disconnected from their body
• Grief, loss, or unresolved pain from past events
• Parenting stress rooted in their own childhood experiences
• Navigating neurodivergence (especially ADHD) alongside trauma sensitivity

You do not need to have all the answers when you arrive. We will make sense of what has been held, what has been hidden, and what is ready to heal — together.

Therapy Goals & Outcomes

Through trauma-informed therapy, you can expect to:

• Regulate your nervous system and reduce emotional overwhelm
• Develop tools for anxiety, panic, and stress management
• Reframe negative thought patterns and build self-compassion
• Strengthen emotional resilience and relational safety
• Heal attachment wounds and rebuild trust
• Increase body awareness and emotional clarity
• Navigate trauma and neurodivergence with confidence
• Feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself

I often integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support these goals, helping you shift unhelpful beliefs and develop practical strategies for emotional wellness.

• Adults navigating anxiety, grief, or emotional overwhelm
