Trauma therapy for people who are ready to reconnect with who they truly are
Supporting authenticity through trauma recovery
Many of my clients already understand their patterns intellectually but are ready for therapy that helps things shift on a deeper emotional level.
The people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who don’t feel like themselves after emotionally overwhelming experiences. Sometimes it’s connected to a specific event. Other times, it’s the cumulative impact of years spent adapting, coping, over-functioning, or staying emotionally on guard.
Trauma therapy offers a space to explore these patterns, process what shaped them, and begin to reconnect with a clearer sense of who you are.
If you’re primarily looking for quick solutions or for support around daily stressors, this approach may not feel like the right fit.

Welcome to room to breathe counselling.
I’m Genny, an evidence-based therapist who values, and makes space for, non-traditional beliefs and practices that others might label as “woo-woo”. My practice is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and LGBTQ+ affirming. I understand that allowing yourself to be vulnerable can feel scary, so I try to meet your vulnerability with my own by being my authentic, t-shirt and jeans-wearing, swear-y, quirky, imperfect self, because I believe real healing happens when we’re allowed to be real.
I believe in the importance of making space for laughter, even when things feel heavy.
How I help
I specialize in trauma recovery using EMDR, IFS (aka “parts work”), mindfulness, and other trauma-informed approaches. Together, we explore how your experiences may be shaping your emotional responses, beliefs, and nervous system patterns, and support meaningful change at a deeper level.
I help people feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally regulated again.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are”
– Carl Jung
What therapy with Genny is like
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are—without pressure to perform or have everything figured out.
I take the work seriously, but therapy doesn’t need to feel overly clinical. There is room for curiosity, emotional depth, and a more natural, relational way of working together.
Depending on your goals, financial limitations, and availability, we might meet weekly or bi-weekly at first and gradually space out sessions. I also offer extended sessions (2- or 3-hour sessions over a shorter duration) for folks who are interested in seeing results more quickly or who aren’t available to meet regularly.
