Description
I’m a Clinical Social Worker in Ottawa Ontario with 30 years experience in counseling, social work, and mental health issues. I am one of a handful of clinicians in Canada and North America specializing in trauma, PTSD, cPTSD, anxiety, DID, and dissociation. I work mainly with EMDR as well as psychotherapy and other modalities. EMDR is very effective in addressing depression, childhood abuse & neglect, sexual abuse, assaults, attachment wounds, betrayal, shame, identity issues, anxiety, performance, grief & loss, medical trauma, addictions, and esteem.
