Meet Maryanne
I started my practice in 2002, coming to the psychotherapy profession from a corporate leadership background. I’ve come to realize that my true calling is to create a safe space to support people to do the work they need to do in order to thrive in their lives.

Healing the past to help the present.
We sometimes have trauma in our past that could use some healing. Trauma-focused therapy includes evidence-based psychotherapy tools designed to help people process distressing events, reduce symptoms like PTSD, anxiety and flashbacks, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Two therapy methods that I use, either separately or together, are EMDR and IFS (often referred to as Parts Work).
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy, also known as “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy”, allows your subconscious to process traumatic memories and eventually put them in the past where they belong.
IFS Therapy
IFS, or Internal Family Systems therapy, focuses on healing emotional wounds by helping you re-integrate different aspects or parts of yourself that are in conflict.
The Science Behind EMDR
EMDR therapy focuses on healing from the most primitive parts of your brain, followed by the emotional centres. It focuses on cognitive connection to help you understand your deepest feelings.
While a science-based approach to therapy, it’s also a gentle approach.
Studies show the efficacy of EMDR therapy for treating anxiety, PTSD, pain, and trauma. EMDR therapy is particularly vital for trauma survivors due to the prevalence of subconsciously blocked memories.
EMDR therapy is endorsed by The American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs/Dept. of Defense, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the World Health Organization among many other national and international organizations.
By increasing your self-understanding, tapping into your true potential, and developing new skills and confidence, you will begin to create changes in your life. Working together will leave you feeling empowered, fulfilled, and more hopeful about your future.
