About
I founded the PTSD Recovery Centre to offer a more focused and structured approach to trauma treatment. Too often, people living with PTSD are unsure where or how to access good quality treatment and endure debilitating symptoms for years.
With a background in both frontline emergency services and clinical psychology, I have seen firsthand the impact of trauma and the importance of timely, effective intervention. This centre was created to provide evidence-based, trauma-focused care in a setting designed specifically for recovery.
I wanted to create a centre that supports people to move beyond trauma with treatment that is intentional, compassionate, and grounded in scientific evidence.
