When relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or persistent struggles continue despite your best efforts, there may be more happening beneath the surface.

Hello, I'm Sondra.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor providing individual and couples psychotherapy in St. Thomas, Ontario, and virtually across Ontario. I specialise in complex trauma, attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of difficult or overwhelming experiences.

My approach explores how earlier experiences, relationships, attachment patterns, and nervous system responses can continue to influence how we feel, respond to stress, relate to others, and experience ourselves today.

I also work extensively with couples experiencing emotional distance, recurring conflict, sex and intimacy concerns, betrayal or trust injuries, and longstanding relationship patterns. Rather than focusing only on symptoms or communication strategies, we explore what may be driving these patterns and keeping them going.

My approach is direct, structured, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I take an active role in therapy, helping you recognise patterns, make connections, and gently challenge ways of thinking or relating that may be keeping you stuck. Drawing from attachment theory, neuroscience, relationship science, and experiential psychotherapy, my goal is to help you create meaningful change in how you experience yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.
