“Trauma is not what happens to us. But what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”

— Peter A Levine, PhD

Discover a balanced life through an integrative approach to therapy, combining  the wisdom of your body along with compassion and science-backed modalities, guiding you toward deep healing and lasting transformation. Clients are invited to gently to heal past wounds, understand their nervous system, and cultivate resilience, clarity, and self-trust. You are a unique individual with a history all your own. Together, we will tailor your journey to wellness, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

Hi, I’m Dr. Forde.

I’ve been helping adults find the other side of trauma since 2003. With extensive training in trauma treatment, I take a collaborative approach to therapy. Working alongside you to build resilience and regain a sense of balance. I also love teaching people about their nervous system and how it can used in new ways of healing. In my practice, I often use Somatic Experiencing techniques, EMDR and hypnosis to help clients process experiences and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
