Do you feel burdened by the impact of chronic pain, trauma, or childhood emotional neglect on your life? Do you want a path forward towards less pain and suffering? We can work together to reduce your pain and help you get more out of your life.
I am an honest, compassionate, and caring presence in the difficult work of therapy. I know it can feel hopeless sometimes, and your pain and suffering seem endless. I provide a space where your emotions are welcome, you can be real about your pain and suffering, and you feel understood, seen and heard.
I have a lived experience of chronic pain, trauma, and childhood emotional neglect that I use to better serve people like you and help guide you through the rollercoaster of healing and challenges.
Some of the ways and techniques we can use to achieve your goals include:
Providing knowledge that is personalized to your struggles and challenges and aimed at helping you understand and gain insight
Skills, techniques, and strategies to help you cope and overcome your challenges.
Brain re-training to end patterns of pain and maladaptive coping or behaviours at the brain and nervous system level (Pain Reprocessing Therapy, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Polyvagal techniques)
Mindfulness and Self-care
Trauma reprocessing and desensitization to put your past where it belongs and so it doesn’t affect you as much (EMDR, Flash, Somatic Therapies, etc.)
