Are you finding it difficult to deal with the pressures of life, and find yourself having emotional reactions that blindside you and come out of nowhere?
I have worked with people just like you to find new ways to react to stressful triggers in life and cultivate healthy relationships. I provide counselling for past trauma to heal wounds and old patterns that are keeping you stuck using EMDR. I also work with you to set goals and look forward to the future and build new coping skills using DBT and CBT.
I am an experienced therapist, who has worked in the counselling field for the last 10 years supporting people from all walks of life. I have experience helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation issues, substance use, bipolar disorder, self-worth issues, anger, PTSD and trauma primarily using EMDR, DBT, and AEDP.
I use a variety of approaches depending on your needs and goals but my primary emphasis is on building a relationship of trust and helping you move towards the life that you want for yourself- as your healthiest and best self. I also provide DBT group therapy for trauma and emotion regulation issues.
No matter how difficult life feels right now, there is hope! I welcome the opportunity to explore how I can help you move from surviving to thriving.
