Certified EMDR Therapy: Solution-based therapy for proven, lasting results.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like past experiences are holding you back, EMDR therapy might be the breakthrough you need.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven therapy designed to help you release the emotional blocks that are preventing you from moving forward.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, grief, or trauma, EMDR works by addressing the root cause of these challenges and rewiring the way your brain processes emotions. It’s a powerful tool for anyone ready to make lasting change.

You experience recurring anxiety or insecurity in your relationships, unsure of your partner’s feelings or fearing they’ll leave.
You often question your ability to make the right relationship choices, leading to low self-confidence and shallow connections.
You have difficulty setting boundaries, leaving you feeling drained, overwhelmed, or taken for granted.
You notice repeating unhealthy patterns in your relationships, such as fear of abandonment, pushing people away, or staying in toxic dynamics.
Unresolved grief from past breakups, loss, or betrayal is preventing you from fully healing and moving forward.
You face challenges with intimacy, including low libido, emotional shutdown, or difficulty connecting sexually with your partner.

EMDR goes beyond traditional therapy. It addresses the root cause of what’s been holding you back, helping you release those deep-seated beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations that are keeping you stuck.
Through simple, back-and-forth eye movements, EMDR works with your nervous system to help clear out the emotional and physical tension that’s been trapped.
This process rewires neural connections in your brain, allowing your body to finally release what’s been blocking you from moving forward.

EMDR Counselling FAQs
Do you accept health insurance?
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC#13309) my services are covered by a number of extended health benefit plans. Please consult with your service provider to determine the type of coverage you have. Clients are responsible for paying for sessions and then submitting their claim to their insurance provider. On request, a receipt will be provided for you to submit for reimbursement.
How many sessions will I need?
It’s hard to predict exactly how many EMDR sessions you'll need, as everyone heals at their own pace. While EMDR can be quicker than traditional therapy, some may need just a few sessions, while others may require up to 6 months for lasting change.
Are there any risks to counselling?
While counselling can be an excellent source of support it’s normal to experience stronger than usual emotions when exploring difficult topics and trying out new behaviours. If you feel uncomfortable with the interventions I suggest or with the pace, know that we can adjust things as needed.
Can EMDR be done virtually?
Absolutely! EMDR works just as effectively in online sessions. We use techniques like audio, tapping, or eye movements through the screen, allowing you to experience the same benefits from the comfort of your home.
Can I use EMDR alongside individual counselling?
I offer 50 and 75 minute EMDR sessions. Longer sessions are typically recommended for EMDR.
How long are EMDR sessions?
How is EMDR used in Relationship Counselling?
The A’s to Your Q’s
Not necessarily! While EMDR is often used for trauma, it's also effective for any stuck patterns or emotions that are getting in the way of your progress—whether they’re related to past events or current struggles.
