Trained EMDR therapist · Trauma & PTSD counselling
EMDR therapy & trauma counselling in Victoria, BC
You can know something is over and still feel it like it's happening now. EMDR therapy helps your brain process difficult experiences so they start to feel like memories instead of emergencies. As a trained EMDR therapist, I work with adults in person in North Park Village, Victoria, and online anywhere in BC.

Is trauma still affecting you?
Common signs people notice
Trauma can come from a single event or from experiences that built up over time. People who may benefit from EMDR often describe:
- Fatigue that rest doesn't fix
- Sleep disturbance or nightmares
- Mood changes
- Difficulty concentrating
- Re-living what happened
- Feeling on guard or easily startled
- Avoiding reminders of the event
- Beliefs like "I'm not safe" or "I'm weak"
What is EMDR?
A well-researched therapy for trauma and PTSD
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been extensively researched as a treatment for people who have been through a traumatic event or live with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also help with grief, anxiety, and depression.
Shift painful beliefs
Move from beliefs like "I am weak" toward more empowering ones, such as "I am capable."
Build resilience
Learn coping strategies you can use day to day, so you feel steadier between sessions.

Is EMDR right for me?
EMDR is often a good fit if you've been through a traumatic event, live with PTSD, or have memories that still feel raw. We'll talk it through in your free consult, and I can draw on other approaches too.
Do I have to talk about every detail?
No. You won't be pushed to share more than you're ready to. We'll build coping skills and a sense of safety first, and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Can EMDR be done online?
Yes. I offer EMDR by secure video anywhere in British Columbia, as well as in person in Victoria.
