I support clients who are dealing with trauma wounds. These wounds may look like difficulty regulating, responding to, or experiencing emotions; unhealthy relationship patterns; impulsive behaviour, and irrational thinking. Our time together will explore practical and cognitive strategies to reduce distress, as well as evidence-based treatment (EMDR) to process unresolved trauma.

My use of EMDR is supplemented by narrative, cognitive, somatic, and mindfulness-based approaches. Our sessions will often feel like conversations, though I recognize sometimes it's hard to articulate one's experience. In this case, we would zero in on the emotional and physical (somatic) experience to connect with what's really going on deep down.
