I am a therapist whose work is grounded in lived experience, compassion, and practical wisdom. I understand chronic health issues, navigating challenging medical systems with grounded determination to be well. I have a scientific mind, able to analyze health information and develop structured programs of care that include mental health issues that arise from your life experiences. For over 20 years, I have been supporting my clients’ physical bodies using my extensive knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Meridian system, and Chi Gong which increase energy to enable health. My clients gain energy and psychological balance to remain healthy. I am a trained Clinical Hypnotherapist with the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists at the advanced level and have been practicing this skill for four years as a professional Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario). I view each person as unique and believe the therapeutic relationship should reflect that individuality. I work collaboratively with clients to untangle the complexities of their living and working environments and to develop tools that support growth and resilience. I believe change is possible, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they move toward greater clarity, balance, and wellbeing. I work with people facing chronic health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex physical health conditions. I also support individuals who are grappling with spiritual questions or adjusting to significant life changes. I value deep listening and strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.

I support children, teenagers, and adults living with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and mind–body illnesses, offering a compassionate and supportive space where they feel truly heard.

Together, we gently explore both emotional and physical experiences, creating space for the mind and body to soften, feel safer, and gradually return to a sense of balance and ease.

I am post graduate trained in Sensorimotor Art Therapy, Play therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectic Behavior Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy). Furthermore, I am currently completing certification in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful modality for healing emotional and physical trauma. As a bilingual clinician, I also provide therapy in French.

Throughout my life, I have been deeply interested in well-being and healing, alongside a passion for the dramatic arts. I earned my first honors degree in dramatic arts, that included drama therapy, but challenging life experiences, particularly helping a loved one through serious mental health and emotional difficulties, further fueled my interest in healing modalities. With now more than twenty years of clinical social work and psychotherapy experience across a diverse range of clients, I work with individuals, children, adolescents and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, divorce, grief, mood disorders, and the multifaceted challenges that arise across the human lifespan.

Practicing within a strengths-based, anti-oppressive culturally informed framework, I draw from a broad repertoire of evidence-based modalities to tailor services to each client’s distinct needs. I am recognized for cultivating a therapeutic environment that is safe, inclusive, emotionally attuned, and that honors the complexity of every individual’s lived experience.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who supports individuals feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, trauma, and emotional or behavioural challenges. I work with adults, children, and teens, and I also support parents who are concerned about their child’s well-being and unsure how best to help. My experience across diverse clinical settings allows me to meet each client with thoughtfulness, clarity, and deep respect for their lived experience. My therapeutic style is warm, calm, and easy to talk to. I offer a safe, grounded space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing. I work from an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens, helping you understand how early experiences, relationships, and ongoing stressors shape emotional patterns, behaviours, and the way you relate to yourself and others. Together, we focus on building a greater sense of safety, strengthening emotional regulation, and supporting healthier, more secure connections. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach, drawing from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Sand Tray Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Gestalt Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This allows us to both explore deeper emotional experiences and develop practical tools that support day-to-day functioning, stability, and long-term healing. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or guidance in supporting your child, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and paced to your needs. Together, we work toward meaningful and sustainable change, helping you feel more grounded, capable, and connected in your daily life.

Hello, I’m Irene, a therapist, somatic practitioner, and lifelong seeker of the small sacred moments that remind us who we really are. My work rests at the intersection of science and spirit—where trauma-informed practice meets intuitive knowing, breath meets emotion, and the body becomes a trusted guide again. My approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply relational. I hold space for people to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with their inner world in ways that feel safe, authentic, and empowering. Whether we’re exploring old narratives, working through trauma, or softening long-held patterns, my intention is always the same: to help you come home to yourself. I draw from somatic work, Internal Family Systems, breathwork, mindfulness, EMDR, hypnotherapy and trauma-informed CBT. I believe healing isn’t linear—it’s a spiraling path of remembering, releasing, and opening. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me doing the things that nourish my spirit—crocheting, weaving, crafting, making things with my hands,or sitting quietly with a good book and a cup of something warm. Creativity has always been my medicine, and I bring that same spirit of curiosity and presence into the therapy room. If you’re feeling called to reconnect with yourself, ease old wounds, or simply breathe a little deeper, I’d be honoured to walk beside you. Healing begins with a single brave moment. You’ve already taken it. I have downloaded Google Chat and set up my email.

Looking forward to chatting about next steps.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who offers a calm, collaborative, and personalized approach to therapy. I aim to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and respectful, where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My work is rooted in trust, compassion, and meaningful therapeutic connection, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care and the mind-body connection, including how stress and emotional experiences can show up as physical symptoms in the body.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I support adults and teenagers who are navigating emotional distress, trauma, substance use concerns, and periods of personal growth. My approach draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, parts work, somatic practices, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, and DBT, and is always tailored to your unique needs and goals.

No matter where you are coming from, whether you are involved in the criminal justice system, working on the front lines as a first responder, navigating substance use, or part of a marginalized or underserved community, I aim to offer support that feels respectful, affirming, and safe. My goal is to offer a steady, compassionate presence where you can feel understood and supported both emotionally and physically as you move toward greater regulation, resilience, and healing.

Above all, I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and care, meeting you where you are and adjusting the work as your needs evolve. Whether you are seeking relief from distress, healing from past experiences, or a deeper connection with yourself, my goal is to support you in building greater understanding, resilience, and a sense of steadiness—both emotionally and within your body.

I specialize in helping individuals reconnect with their bodies as a pathway to healing and resilience. Grounded in the principles of mind-body integration, I support clients in navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, and emotional dysregulation by fostering awareness of physical sensations and nervous system responses.

With a compassionate, client-centered approach, I integrate evidence-based somatic practices such as breathwork, body awareness, and nervous system regulation techniques into therapy sessions. My work emphasizes creating a safe, attuned therapeutic environment where clients can gently explore and process stored experiences held within the body.

I previously worked as a first responder. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and am committed to ongoing professional development in somatic therapies and trauma-informed care. I believe that healing is not only about insight, but also about restoring a sense of safety, connection, and vitality within the body.
