EMDR Basic Training
I have over twenty years of therapeutic experience supporting children, families and individuals. My style is warm and informal and I provide my clients with a safe and non-judgmental space. I am a trauma-focused therapist and I specialize in treating trauma, including childhood attachment wounds.
I believe that all therapy should be rooted in a client-therapist relationship that is characterized by warmth, acceptance and trust.
I am trained in the following modalities; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and EMDR Intensives, Structural Dissociation, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Individuals.
I also have advanced training through Postpartum Support International and I was inspired to specialize in maternal mental health after my own postpartum struggles. I found that support and awareness were lacking for women from pre-conception to postpartum and I became passionate about normalizing the changes and challenges that come with the transition into parenthood.
I am highly influenced by attachment science and I obtain inspiration from the healing powers of connection and emotional security. I am committed to staying current on research and evidence-based treatments and I engage in ongoing psychotherapy training.
I believe that psychotherapy is an art that involves the “meeting of two minds”. I am passionate about helping my clients heal and grow and I am honoured to witness the shifts that occur within themselves and ultimately, their lives.
