EMDR Therapists in K2L

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their challenges with the guidance of an objective professional. My therapeutic approach is based on gaining an understanding of my client, defining obstacles to their wellbeing, and using evidence-based (scientifically proven) treatments to help improve their everyday functioning and ability to enjoy life.

Many of us silently cope with difficulties in our lives. But you don't have to. Reaching out to a counsellor for support gives you the opportunity to explore what is holding you back and start improving your quality of life. People have the capacity to make positive changes in their lives with the right support and guidance. With support, you will tap into your strengths, find hope and heal emotional wounds. I work with individual adults who are experiencing mental health issues, trauma, negative self-esteem, sleep issues and relationship issues.

Life is complex and navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can add to this complexity.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced the depth of life's challenges, perhaps grappling with Trauma, PTSD, Grief, or Relationship Issues. They could be facing anxieties, behavioral concerns, or family conflicts stemming from diverse issues. These challenges have shaped them, but they haven’t defined them. Their goal? To find clarity, healing, and empowerment. They seek a therapeutic space that is both culturally sensitive and technically adept. They want to be seen, heard, and understood. They yearn for resilience, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.
