So many people suffer needlessly because of childhood or other trauma, dysfunctional family and personal relationships, or negative coping skills. I know how hard life can be and I can help you identify areas you’d like to improve, making your life happier and more calm using research-proven psychological techniques and treatments, including EMDR. Mental health improvements impact every area of life, providing healthy coping and problem-solving. Everyone wants to feel their best but so often we overlook our internal life, focusing instead on appearance or fitness, which are also important. Psychotherapy is an investment in yourself.
