In my practice, I focus on working with adults who have experienced trauma, and are struggling with emotions of anxiety, depression, shame, or grief. We all have our own history of experiences, and we tend to react in specific ways under stress. While our response may have been our best option in the past, it may not be adaptive now. I can help you resolve past traumas, learn to accept what is, and move forward from there – developing ways to a fuller and more satisfying life.My background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provides me with excellent skills to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other symptoms associated with big and small traumatic experiences. Working with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ego-State Therapy to change deep seated beliefs of worthlessness or helplessness – sometimes in just a few sessions – leaves me feeling even more enthusiastic and very blessed to be working in the counselling profession. Over the last few years, I was able to take the IFS Institute Level 1 and 2 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and enjoy incorporating this life affirming perspective and model of self-leadership into my healing work.
