EMDR Certified Therapist
Eileen has been in private practice since 2005, and is a Certified EMDR practitioner who focuses on helping her clients reduce and remove the distressing symptoms, thoughts and behaviours that interfere with obtaining the quality of life they long for. She helps her clients identify the roots of those symptoms related to unprocessed trauma and anxiety to achieve relief from conditions like PTSD, Complex Trauma, and other conditions, including life-long symptoms like negative self-beliefs, avoidance, unmanaged anger or emotional distress, depression, feelings of low self-worth and poor self-esteem, patterns of ineffective or self-defeating behaviours in intimate or professional relationships, etc.
