Healing Connections Psychotherapy
In my youth, a transformative experience with a therapist forever changed the course of my life. That encounter ignited a passion to help others, leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, followed by a Master of Counselling Psychology. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), serving individuals, couples, and families in the North Bay region.As the Founder and Clinical Director of Healing Connections Psychotherapy, I lead a growing trauma-informed clinic dedicated to providing high-quality care in a supportive and innovative environment. In addition to client work, I developed the Operational Resiliency Protocol (ORP), a training program designed specifically to support the mental health and resiliency of first responders.I am deeply committed to supporting clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, relationship difficulties, addiction, anger management, chronic pain, grief, infidelity, and stress related to work or daily life. Alongside direct client work, I find great joy in mentoring clinicians and enhancing their confidence and proficiency in EMDR therapy.My own lived experience with trauma has fueled my dedication to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have completed advanced training through the Traumatic Stress Institute, earning a Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies, and I am a Certified EMDR Therapist as well as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training. I use EMDR with children, adolescents, adults, and couples.My EMDR-related training includes:DeTUR for addictionsEMDR Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents and Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-PRECI)Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization (ASSYST) for individuals and groupsEMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol for Ongoing Traumatic Stress (IGTP-OTS)Flash Technique for complex trauma memoriesEgo State Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)I also specialize in couples therapy and am trained in the Gottman Method, with a focus on supporting couples through affairs, addictions, and trauma.As both a client and a practitioner of EMDR, I know firsthand the profound healing it can bring. I approach every client with care, respect, and dedication, walking alongside them as they discover their own capacity for growth and healing.
