Hi, I’m Stephanie

MA., RP, SEP & EMDR Clinician

Pronouns: She/Her

I was inspired to become a therapist through my own healing journey and the transformative impact therapy had on my life. During my adolescent years, I experienced a meaningful therapeutic relationship that provided steady support as I worked through trauma, loss, and an eating disorder. This process was integral to my recovery and deepened my belief in the power of compassionate, attuned care. That experience continues to guide how I show up for the clients I work with today.

Over the past fifteen years, I have supported children, adults, and families through a wide range of life challenges and transitions. My work across schools, community services, shelters, and counselling settings has strengthened my commitment to compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed care. With a background in social work, mental health, and counselling psychology, I take an integrative and individualized approach to therapy.


My Approach

I am passionate about a holistic approach to therapy—one that honours the whole person, including their mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. I believe healing is most meaningful when it reflects the unique needs, lived experiences, and inner strengths of each individual. My work centres on creating a supportive, attuned space where clients feel safe to explore, reconnect, and grow at a pace that feels right for them.

I specialize in trauma-informed approaches that integrate both the mind and body, drawing from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). These modalities allow me to tailor the therapeutic process to each client, supporting deeper regulation, nervous system safety, and long-term healing.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Supporting clients in building practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier relationships, creating more balance and stability in daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Helping clients process and integrate painful or traumatic experiences through a structured, evidence-based approach that reduces emotional intensity and supports nervous system healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Parts Work: Exploring the different parts within oneself to deepen self-understanding, support emotional integration, and foster inner harmony.

Somatic Experiencing (SE): Using body-based techniques to release stress and trauma stored in the body

Treatment Specialities

My treatment specialties include supporting clients who are navigating complex trauma, disordered eating, substance abuse, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. I work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward a more grounded and empowered sense of self. Together, we explore both past and present patterns with compassion and curiosity, creating space for healing that feels safe, steady, and sustainable. My goal is to help clients heal from trauma, reconnect with their inner strengths, and learn to live more peacefully and happily in their bodies, while developing tools that support meaningful change in their everyday lives.
