Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy and EMDR in Victoria, BC

Trauma lives in the body and nervous system, not just our thoughts. I use approaches that help the whole system feel safe enough to process and integrate difficult experiences, at a pace that respects you.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. A therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their charge.

IFS-EMDR

An integration of Internal Family Systems with EMDR, working compassionately with the different parts of you while reprocessing.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

A gentle, body-based approach to attachment shock and unresolved traumatic experience.

Intensives

Extended sessions for focused trauma work, available on request. These can help when weekly sessions feel too slow.
