Description
I like to focus on healing the root cause of a clients’ suffering, instead of only focusing on behaviours and surface-level changes. I have a special interest in trauma and attachment therapy, including EMDR, CBT, IFS, and parts work therapy. These therapies assist clients with releasing trauma and elevate healing through processing the negative experiences they’ve been through. If you’re ready to take the next step, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. I’d love to support you in getting the help you need to live a more fulfilling life.
