Begin Your Inner Passage

You deserve more than surface solutions

You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books, journaled, maybe even spent years in therapy. You’re self-aware. High-functioning. Insightful.

But inside, something still feels unresolved.

Old patterns persist. A quiet shame, fatigue, or anxiety lingers beneath the surface. You may look grounded on the outside—but inside, you feel stuck, reactive, disconnected, or just… tired.

The word trauma can feel heavy. But trauma isn’t always what happened — it’s also what didn’t happen. It might be a single overwhelming event… or a series of subtle, relational moments: not feeling safe, heard, or truly seen. Experiences that shaped how you move through the world — and how you see yourself.

Either way, the imprint is real.

If you’re seeking a different kind of therapy—one that goes deeper, honours your nervous system, and integrates the parts of you shaped by early relationships or altered states—welcome.

I’m Melissa,

MSW, RSW

—a trauma therapist offering online therapy for adults across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the Yukon. I work with thoughtful, intuitive people who are ready to move beyond coping—and into transformation.

I specialize in:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • EMDR for trauma and anxiety

  • Somatic therapy and nervous system regulation

  • NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model)

  • Psychedelic preparation & integration therapy

This is not just about symptom management. It’s therapy for those who want to feel more whole, grounded, and free—and are ready to shift longstanding patterns of shame, emotional reactivity, anxiety, or self-abandonment at the root.
