We are ALL survivors of trauma. When we go through anything that the mind understands as traumatic, a part of us fragments. Most of the time, we aren't able to properly integrate the information and the experiences even after a lot of time goes by. We end up dragging around these fragments of ourselves who are still stuck in the trauma and due to this, we tend to attract and get triggered by situations that remind us of this trauma. Through various techniques, we can work with the fragmented self to integrate these experiences and memories to live a more fulfilled and complete life and achieve your therapeutic goals.

I would love to work alongside you as we discover ways of coping and healing through difficult times.

At the Heitmann Centre our goal is to support individuals in distress to regain their equilibrium, hope, self-esteem and joy.
