I am pleased to offer a small, virtual, trauma-informed group therapy to clients across Canada.

With experience in traumatic stress, developmental trauma, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and grounded in structural dissociation, attachment theory, neuroscience, and relational psychotherapy, this is a an experience designed to meet you where you’re at and support you in taking steps forward, and with care.

Group is intended for individuals who wish to explore their experiences, reflections, tendencies, patterns, perspectives, and feelings…the challenges and sorrows and complicated layers that go hand in hand with the art of living life well. There is no specific ‘diagnostic’ or issue focus, some will bring with traumatic life histories, while others will bring grief, low self-esteem, social anxiety and relationship challenges.

A group setting allows us to see how we experienced and affected by others, and how others experience and are affected by us; to discover what is our work, and what is theirs,

With a relational and psychodynamic foundation, we work to cultivate a sense of curiosity about our thoughts, patterns, feelings, perspectives, and behaviours, to open ourselves up to what might be at play beneath the surface of our conscious awareness. Group work develops our compassion for self and other, and over time we become able to better recognize our defensive strategies, understanding on another level that at one time that same defense likely really helped, whereas nowadays it causes more grief than good.

Further, traumatic memory is held in the body, which can sometimes mean that  traditional talk therapy can go in circles or feel stuck. In a thoughtfully facilitated Group, processing can unfold through somatic awareness, increased self-understanding, and supported experiences of relating with others.

There’s something quietly transformative about being in a room—real or virtual—where honest conversation is welcomed. One of the gifts of Group Therapy is realizing you’re not alone in your struggles. Through shared stories and reflections, many report they come to recognize themselves in others—a sense of universality that can be deeply reassuring, and help one feel less alone. Over time, trust builds, and with it, a feeling of acceptance, trust, and belonging. This cohesion becomes its own kind of medicine: supportive, steadying, and often surprising in what it makes possible.

Trauma-informed and rooted in psychodynamic, attachment and relational principles, Group offers a space for you to witness and be witnessed, to deepen insight and self-awareness, and to experience connection with others in a new way. We take great care to co-create a respectful and emotionally secure environment—one that fosters connection and avoids any approach that could overwhelm or re-traumatize.

The First Step: we meet for a complimentary consultation to discuss the Group process and answer questions , to ensure that you will be able to hold what Group offers, and that what you have to offer is something the Group can hold.

Reflective Capacity & Processing: ideally you are in individual psychotherapy as issues arise that may require additional support and processing, particularly if the issue cannot be resolved or addressed in our session, and in general, group dynamics inevitably generates new material. It is important that all members have capacity for self-reflection and emotional awareness in order to recognize and process your, and ways you impact others. Previous and ongoing therapy experience will be most helpful.
