Welcome, I’m Carmel.

I am a Master's level Registered Social Worker and trauma therapist (OCSWSSW RSW#851622 & BCCSW RSW #12898), offering virtual psychotherapy for adults (18+) and couples in Ontario and British Columbia, with in-person sessions available seasonally for clients in Victoria. I have a special interest in working with trauma survivors and People of the Global Majority, but I welcome all who resonate with my approach.

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 possible.


Offerings

    Individual Therapy

    Guided by anti-oppressive values, I draw on modalities such as EMDR, AEDP, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Ego-State Therapy to help individuals heal from trauma, dissociation and early attachment wounding, so that they can feel more at home in themselves, more connected to others, and more connected to pleasure and vitality.

    Relationship Therapy

    Rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy 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

    EMDR is an evidence-based trauma-focused therapy that I use, 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.

  • Grief Circles

    I offer group support circles to collectively hold the emotional impact of global polycrises. Instead of pathologizing our anxieties or grief, we can nurture and hold our shared pain together, fostering a community of collective care. These circles are an invitation to re-imagine and co-create a more loving, just, and sustainable world.
