Are traumatic memories, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or nightmares affecting your daily life? Do anxiety or depression impact how you feel about yourself? I am a Certified EMDR Therapist specializing in helping individuals reprocess traumatic experiences and reduce distressing symptoms. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. I use an integrative, individualized approach drawing from EMDR, CBT, DBT, and ACT to strengthen coping skills and promote lasting change. I am passionate about strength-based therapy that helps individuals reconnect with what matters most to them.
In counselling, I offer a compassionate space to explore emotions, build resilience, and strengthen coping skills. We begin by stabilizing symptoms so you feel grounded and supported, then work toward the root of your concerns. Together, we manage symptoms, process trauma, and build self-compassion and confidence.
If you would like to talk to me more about whether I would be a good fit for your therapeutic needs feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute phone consult. I am here to support you in developing your strengths, coping strategies and to offer you a safe place to help you focus on the right way forward for you.
