It can be a challenge to find your center or balance when everything around you seems to be out of your control. Things are happening so fast and it can be scary. Searching for your true self in a world that adds filters to glamorize everyday life is a struggle. It can be difficult to find the balance between assertiveness, passiveness, honesty and consideration. Therapy is a space that is yours to discover answers to the questions that keep you up at night or cause you to overthink an "awkward" encounter with someone. Therapy is a safe and confidential space to explore who you are; to name, understand and better manage emotions.

Have you tried talk therapy with little to no success? As a certified EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapist, I can help. EMDR is a type of brain-based therapy that can help reprocess and desensitize traumatic or adverse experiences so that you can have more fulfilling relationships and less severe trauma reactions. I will walk you through this type of therapy- no need to worry about knowing "what to do" or that it will be too serious. We'll do the hard work plus have fun doing it.

Click in website link to schedule an intake. I truly get it and understand how real- life demands can create barriers to getting help. Maybe, for various reasons the things you have tried haven't fully worked. Of things that can impact our mental health, the impact of trauma is by far one of the things that can interfere with our ability to move with ease in life and can impact so many areas of our life. Sometimes feeling emotionally overwhelmed, shut down or on overdrive, trauma can leave us blocked from our full potential leaving us depressed, anxious, frustrated and stuck.

The simple truth is that being human presents us with some significant challenges, some of which are unavoidable. No one is going to escape sickness, aging, and death. However, the amount of suffering we experience depends mainly on our ability to process them. It's not just talking about your problems and feelings. My aim here is to work together as a team, to help you be the sort of person you want to be and build the kind of life you want to live. Part of this approach involves learning skills to handle stressful thoughts and feelings more effectively so they have less impact and influence over you.

It would be my honor to assist you in this capacity.
