In-person psychotherapy in Toronto and online across Ontario
Therapy for adults and couples in Toronto
Feeling lonely, unheard, or misunderstood?
Supporting individuals and couples navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, and depression using EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
You’re experiencing disconnection and unsure what’s getting in the way.
Hi, I’m Alycia
Using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), I work with the part of you that is tired of just talking about it and ready to actually feel different. Many people find themselves in this place. You are not alone in trying to make sense of it all on your own.
I work with adults and couples in Toronto and across Ontario who want to understand what is underneath these experiences and make changes that feel possible and supportive.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), I draw on somatic, relational, and EMDR approaches to support you in building a more grounded and connected relationship with yourself and the people in your life.
Why work with me
You don’t have to explain everything to be understood here
Neurodivergent Adults
Maybe you’ve wondered about ADHD or autism, but part of you is afraid to know for sure.
You’ve lost your keys for the 12th time this week and immediately felt ashamed
You miss one appointment and spend days spiralling afterward
You suspect you might have ADHD but you’ve never been assessed, and part of you is afraid of what that would mean
Relationships can feel painfully disconnected even when you care about each other.
It feels like every argument starts with “you always” or “you never”
You’ve become roommates. The resentment has been building for a long time
You want to be intimate but something in you shuts down. it’s been so long it feels impossible to start
Couples & Relationships
Trauma, Identity, & Belonging
You’ve spent so much of your life adapting to fit in that you’re not always sure where you belong anymore.
You constantly monitor yourself to avoid being “too much” or “not enough”
You’re tired of carrying everything alone while pretending you’re fine
Part of you still feels like an outsider, even in spaces where you’re welcomed
My Approach
I offer somatic, relational, and EMDR therapy in Toronto for trauma, nervous system regulation, and connected relationships
-
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to trauma therapy that helps you gently process and release trauma held in the nervous system. I integrate sensorimotor therapy, parts work (including Internal Family Systems), and breathwork to support nervous system regulation and healing from trauma, anxiety, and stress.
-
EMDR is a gentle, structured therapy that helps you process difficult or overwhelming memories in a way that feels safer and more manageable. While you briefly focus on a memory, you’re guided through simple techniques like eye movements or sounds that help your brain naturally reprocess what you’ve been through. Over time, these memories tend to feel less intense and less stuck in the body.
-
DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) is a gentle, body-based therapy that helps you process emotional wounds and trauma at a deep nervous system level. It works by noticing subtle sensations in the body, often starting with the earliest moment of shock or emotional activation, so your system can safely unwind and release what has been held inside. DBR is often used to support healing from trauma, anxiety, and attachment-related stress.
-
Relational and attachment therapy is an approach that helps you understand unconscious patterns that may continue to shape how you connect with yourself and others. We gently explore how those earlier experiences may still influence your current relationships and emotions. The work moves at your pace and focuses on awareness, safety, and connection, helping you build healthier relationships and deepen your self-awareness.
