Hi, I’m Isabelle.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and EMDR Certified Therapist offering trauma-focused psychotherapy for adults virtually across Ontario and in person in Peterborough.
If you’ve found your way here, you’re likely carrying more than feels manageable on your own. Maybe you’ve been living with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, disconnection, or a nervous system that never truly seems to settle.
You’ve probably learned many ways to cope.
You’ve pushed through.
You’ve kept functioning.
But if your nervous system still reacts as though the past is happening now, coping strategies alone may not feel like enough.
Trauma can change the way your mind, body, and nervous system respond long after the danger has passed.
You might notice:
- anxiety or panic
- difficulty sleeping
- trouble concentrating
- emotional numbness or reactivity
- feeling disconnected from yourself or others
- chronic self-criticism
- relationship difficulties
Sometimes what we call anxiety, depression, burnout, or relationship struggles are actually signs of a nervous system that has been working hard to survive.
Healing doesn’t erase your experiences or require you to “get over it.” It helps them become a chapter of your story, instead of the whole book.
