I work with individuals who carry intergenerational trauma that is carried on from parents, grandparents, and great grandparents i.e residential school. During our sessions we create a calm safe space needed to share the depths of the emotional pain and memories they have been carrying for years and some decades. Some have shared, the feeling of heaviness to lightness, and others see a glow.

I like to use a strengths based approach to help clients begin where they are at and build upon our therapeutic alliance. Making a way for them to see their power and to change their narrative and be who they truly know they are, outside of the labels they carry. This helps to pave the way using EMDR therapy to clear away blocks of the old memories and experiences and shifting to the new beliefs.
