About Me

Hi, my name is Karissa. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with a Masters in Counselling Psychology. I have worked in the field since 2020, I’m passionate about helping people heal from trauma and PTSD. I am EMDR-trained and currently working toward full EMDR certification. I’m also trained in Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR), the Redpath Living Without Violence program, the Holistic Arts-Based Program (HAP), and I am a Neurofeedback Practitioner. When working with children and youth, I integrate play-based therapy alongside EMDR to support healing in a developmentally appropriate and engaging way. As the expert in your own life, I would be honoured to walk beside you on your healing journey. I’m a mother of four, and in my downtime, you can usually find me reading and staying warm indoors.
