About Sondra
Hi, I’m Sondra, a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor with more than 16 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s most complex challenges. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you find balance in your life.
My work centres on both the mind and the nervous system, the foundation of how we experience safety, connection, and resilience. Drawing on neuroscience and psychology, I specialise in supporting people whose bodies remain on high alert after trauma, or who have learned to disconnect in order to cope.
With a strong background in psychology and advanced training in trauma-informed approaches, I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. I don’t believe in quick fixes; instead, I focus on addressing the root causes of distress to create lasting, meaningful change.
I work with people across all stages of life, including couples where one or both partners may be living with attachment wounds (anxious, avoidant, or disorganised insecure attachment), trauma, PTSD, or other mental health challenges.
Many of my clients arrive feeling “too complicated” after trying therapy elsewhere. My role is to help them uncover the origins of their struggles, calm and regulate the nervous system, and restore balance in both body and mind.
What sets me apart in a crowded field is my ability to hold complex, layered stories with both clinical expertise and deep compassion. Clients often tell me that my integrated approach, grounded equally in neuroscience, psychology, and lived understanding, offers them a perspective they haven’t found elsewhere.
Above all, my practice is guided by compassion and science. Science shows that when we look beyond the symptom and understand the story of both the mind and nervous system, true healing becomes possible.
