Do you find yourself struggling to move past your past? Do you feel stuck in the depths of depression? Are you struggling to manage your anger or self-criticism? Are you exhausted from dealing with anxiety or PTSD? If so, I sincerely want to work WITH you to achieve the life, and the inner peace you deserve." For the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of witnessing people's courage to share their stories and lives with me. Through sharing your difficulties with a therapist you trust and being willing to be vulnerable in a therapeutic relationship, change happens as we allow compassion in.
I am a Certified EMDR Therapist, and have experience and training in Internal Family Systems (parts work), Deep Brain Reorienting, Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Most importantly, clients have told me that they feel safe with me, not judged, and they appreciate my friendly, down-to-earth approach.
It's not easy to reach out for help; I know - I've been there. It takes an authentic connection with a person who 'sees' and hears you for therapy to be meaningful and effective. Wishing you the best on your search for that right person. Perhaps that's me.
