I work with individuals whose lives have been disrupted by trauma, whether from a crime, accident, or other overwhelming experiences. My clients often find themselves trapped in survival responses long after a crisis has passed, experiencing constant unease or anxiety. By providing a secure and supportive environment, I help them process these experiences and regain the clarity and control needed to move forward.
I primarily use BrainWorking Recursive Therapy, an evidence-based approach designed to address trauma at its source. This process is structured, safe and highly efficient, often allowing for significant relief within 3 to 8 sessions.
Seeking support is a courageous step toward reclaiming your life from trauma. I am here to partner with you in restoring the stability and peace of mind you deserve. If you are ready to take the next step, please reach out to schedule an initial consultation.

I predominantly use BrainWorking Recursive Therapy. BWRT aims to interrupt & redirect the brain's automatic trauma response before it fully activates. This helps prevent the cascade of emotional and physiological reactions commonly associated with trauma and PTSD. The session is structured and contained, with me guiding you step by step through the process in a safe and controlled manner.
