Virtual Private Practice Working With Adolescents and Adults Across Ontario
Psychotherapy rooted in trauma-informed care, nervous system repair, and spiritual integration.
Transforming Shadow into Light.
I help people metabolize pain, reclaim their truth, and gently reconnect to what is most alive in them.
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
― Brené Brown
You deserve to feel safe in your own story.
I’m Carmen — a Registered Psychotherapist and Reiki Grandmaster supporting people through deep healing.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based care and rooted in heart-centered wisdom. I draw from EMDR, mindfulness, somatic inquiry, and trauma-informed care to help you meet yourself with more clarity, compassion, and courage.
Healing, for me, is about returning to the truth of who you are — not just managing symptoms. I work integratively, weaving clinical modalities and spiritual psychotherapy to support the whole of you: mind, body, psyche, and spirit.
I specialize in walking with people through complex trauma, burnout, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, spiritual crises, and the sacred mess of transformation.
Together, we can name what hurts and help it alchemize into something new.
Let’s meet what’s ready to heal, together
Psychotherapy That Feels Like Coming Home
In our sessions, we’ll create a grounded space where your nervous system can exhale and where all parts of you are welcome.
You’ll learn to:
– Navigate big emotions without being ruled by them
– Reprocess trauma through EMDR and somatic safety
– Differentiate between belonging and fitting in
– Cultivate boundaries and self-care that actually nourish you
– Tend to ancestral wounds and spiritual grief

Whether you’re moving through a life transition, healing childhood trauma, or craving clarity in your relationships, our work together meets you where you are.
“Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within.”
