I'm here for anyone who needs emotional support and is looking for ways to move forward. I have a special interest in trauma healing, in particular childhood trauma. If you are a survivor of emotional neglect and or abuse, you want to feel safe emotionally and physically again. You deserve to lead a full life without the past haunting the present. If you are struggling with addictions (substances and/or behavioural) and mental health, I am keen to help you, too. I have specialised training in a number of evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Clinical Hypnosis and Ego-State Therapy.
For clients interested in clinical hypnotherapy, I use Cognitive Hypnotherapy, an intergrated approach of two evidence-based modalities: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Hypnosis tapping into the subconscious for more rapid changes. I have successfully treated clients with: anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, addictions, and chronic pain.
It takes courage to contact a therapist and open up about very personal feelings and circumstances. This is often more so for people with trauma, especially childhood trauma, because safety and trust were stolen from them. I will walk with you in your journey with empathy, understanding, and compassion. Feel free to contact me to discuss your unique needs.
