Welcome, I’m so glad you made it here
You’ve put in a lot of work, and intellectually understand how trauma has impacted you,
but you still feel stuck, the same patterns keep resurfacing and nothing feels resolved.
You're probably self-aware, emotionally intelligent and introspective and you understand that talking about trauma isn’t the same as processing it.
I'm here to help!
I’m Katherine, a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in trauma recovery.
My practice is focused on providing evidence-based trauma therapy to adults who have experienced trauma, specifically those who have complex trauma or who have treatment resistant symptoms.
I'm a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation (ISSTD), and I aim to integrate the most up to date research and neuroscience into my practice, using both top-down (talk therapy) and bottom-up (somatic therapy) approaches, tailored to fit each person’s needs.
Whether it’s your first time seeking therapy or you’re looking for a different approach, please reach out -
I'd love to help you find the right care (even if it's not with me)

What we now refer to as Canada was also built on the labour of many immigrant and migrant communities. We remember those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery. This city was built on stolen land and stolen labour of Black, Indigenous, and racialized people.
