Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is somatic/body-based therapy, and how does it help with trauma and anxiety?
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the body and mind. Trauma often gets stored in the body, and somatic techniques help release these physical tensions, allowing you to heal emotionally. This approach is especially effective for those with a history of trauma or anxiety, as it addresses the body's natural response to stress.

2. Is online anxiety counselling as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes! For most anxiety and trauma-related concerns, online anxiety counselling is just as effective as in-person sessions. With the added benefit of convenience and comfort, online therapy allows you to engage with a Trauma Therapist without geographical limitations, as long as you are residing in Alberta.

3. How does online trauma therapy work?
Online trauma therapy follows the same principles as in-person therapy. Through secure video sessions, we’ll explore your concerns, identify triggers, and develop strategies for healing. I use a variety of trauma-focused techniques to ensure you feel supported and empowered throughout your journey.

4. Do you treat childhood trauma?
Yes, as a psychotherapist for childhood trauma, I specialize in helping clients heal from the lasting effects of early-life experiences. Addressing childhood trauma is a critical step in overcoming anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational difficulties.

5. How can online anxiety counselling help me?
Online anxiety counselling can help you gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your anxiety, develop tools to manage and reduce anxiety symptoms, and find lasting relief. Whether you’re dealing with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or health anxiety, I would be happy to support your healing journey.
