Welcome, I’m Carmel.

I am a Master's level Registered Social Worker and trauma therapist, specializing in complex and developmental trauma and offering virtual psychotherapy for adults (18+) and couples across British Columbia and Ontario (BCCSW RSW #12898 & OCSWSSW RSW#851622). I work with people navigating the lasting impacts of childhood trauma, relational wounds, and the ways early experiences shape who we are, and I work with couples seeking to deepen the felt experience of love and intimacy.

At the root of our work together is the belief that we can tend to the profound impacts of trauma, loss, and oppression on your wellbeing and relationships, while also reclaiming the immense potential for joy, pleasure, meaning, and connection in your life. Whatever has led you here, know that you will be met with an unwavering belief that healing is not only possible, but necessary for personal and collective liberation.


Offerings

    Individual Therapy

    I offer a warm, non-judgemental, compassionate space for individuals to heal from trauma. Drawing on EMDR, AEDP, somatic, and parts-based therapies, we process how the wounds of the past live in your body today. Over time, you can expect to feel more at home in yourself, more connected, and freer from the patterns that have kept you stuck.

    Relationship Therapy

    Rooted in Emotionally Focused and Transformative Couples Therapy, I help partners move out of cycles of conflict and toward deeper intimacy, kinder communication, and a more embodied felt sense of love and connection.

    EMDR Therapy

    Words are often not enough to fully heal from trauma. EMDR is an evidence-based trauma-focused therapy that works directly with how distressing experiences are held in the brain and body, allowing them to be processed, integrated, and transformed into sources of growth and healing.
