Hi Everyone! My goal is to create high-quality, short, effective and educational videos specific to Trauma and Mental Health that you can utilize and practice in your own journey. I pull from both clinical experience and the scientific literature in hopes to deliver effective and informative content.

My name is Kyle and I am a Clinical Psychologist, Certified EMDR therapist and an EMDR International Association Approved Consultant. I specialize in trauma therapy, from both childhood, adulthood, present-day and occupational trauma. I often utilize several modalities of treatment including Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness.
