Healing Together: We Can Do This Together

Schedule a Consultation

At The Integrative Trauma and PTSD Recovery Centre, we understand that trauma can touch every aspect of life. We are a dedicated team of therapists specializing in treating trauma and PTSD in adults, children, and families. Whether you have experienced a single life-altering event, the ongoing effects of complex PTSD, the wounds of relational trauma, or are an adult survivor of childhood trauma or sexual abuse, we are here to support you on your journey towards healing.

Single Incident Trauma

We understand how car accidents, assaults, natural disasters, or other traumatic events can impact your life. Our therapists can help you process these experiences, manage emotional triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and security.

Complex PTSD

Complex PTSD often arises from repeated or prolonged exposure to traumatic experiences. We offer specialized therapy approaches to address the unique challenges associated with complex PTSD, such as emotional dysregulation, dissociation, and difficulties with relationships.

Relational Trauma

Relationships can be a source of strength, but also of deep pain. We can help you heal from betrayal, infidelity, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, or other forms of relational trauma.

Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma

Childhood experiences have a profound impact on our well-being. Our therapists are experienced in helping adults understand the lasting effects of childhood trauma and develop coping mechanisms to overcome these challenges.

Sexual Trauma

Sexual assault and abuse are devastating experiences. We offer a safe and supportive space for survivors to process their trauma, manage triggers, and reclaim a sense of power and control over their lives.

Read About Candace

I am deeply connected to my work because, through my own life experiences, I have learned that love and healthy supportive relationships are essential and healing for us as humans. Trauma can disconnect us from these core aspects of our humanity, making us want to isolate ourselves and become mistrustful and fearful of forming new relationships. It can also lead to a disconnection from self-care and managing our emotional boundaries.

Specializing in relational trauma and helping adults who experienced childhood trauma is a natural choice for me. I understand the profound impact that early trauma can have on an individual’s ability to form and maintain healthy relationships. I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of healing through connection, love, trust, and compassionate support. My personal journey has reinforced my belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the potential for recovery and growth.

Are you a woman or a person from the LGBTQ+ community navigating anxiety, grief, shame, trauma, depression, or major life transitions in a world that often expects you to hold everything together? Are you longing for a safe, compassionate space where you can process your emotions and feel truly seen and understood? I specialize in supporting women and gender-diverse individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care. As a Menopause Mental Health Practitioner, I also support women through perimenopause and menopause times that can bring emotional shifts, grief, and changes identity.

My approach blends Narrative Therapy to help you rewrite your story, Solution-Focused Therapy to build on your strengths, and Feminist Therapy to empower your voice. I teach self-compassion to replace self-criticism with care and use Brainspotting to gently process trauma and help you feel calmer, grounded, and more connected to yourself.

Whether you are moving through menopause, stepping into motherhood, or facing another major life change, you deserve support and understanding. You do not have to carry it all on your own. Together, we can create space for healing, clarity, and self-compassion so you can move forward with strength and confidence.
