Do you find it difficult to open up and talk about private traumatic experiences? The loss of a loved one, job, friend, home? Natural disaster? Intimate violation? Discrimination? Spiritual and metaphysical changes? Estrangement? Abandonment? Childhood, Adult, Relationship, and/or any other type of Abuse? Is your ability to work, be with friends, spend time with family, or have close relationships difficult? If yes, I’m here to help!
I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat individuals with various types of anxiety and sexual, emotional, racial, spiritual, psychological, financial, and physical trauma. Let me help you discover your strengths, learn ways to manage your emotions, change negative thought patterns, and build healthier relationships!
What do you need to know about me? I have a belief each person is unique, deserves to be treated with respect, needs to be listened to, heard, and meant to feel safe. It may help you to know that I am from a multi-cultural, multi-racial, blended family. Growing up in such a family has exposed me and sensitized me to experiences outside our dominant culture
Take the first step to help. Call or Alyson French now - (602) 560-4531
