EnglishBackground
You’ve scrolled through many profiles and not sure who to reach out to. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or just not like yourself lately. It may be trauma, careers, or relationships, but it’s exhausting to go through this cycle. I understand what it's like to sit in the client's seat with these feelings and thoughts, and I am here to help. Think of me as your GPS; you set the destination and I’ll guide you, redirecting along the way. I specialize in trauma, using approaches like EMDR and somatic work to help you make sense of your past and lower the levels of distress from those memories.
Your therapeutic experience with me
Married/together for 17 years, I also appreciate the complexities that relationships can bring. If you're looking for relationship counselling, my goal is to help couples improve communication and conflict through practical strategies (through Gottman, EFT, and RLT). Or maybe 4 walls are not for you? I also offer walk-and-talk therapy & animal therapy. If you're feeling stuck or unsure where to begin, that’s okay; reach out, and we can chat. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call to discuss next steps and provide guidance. Email is the quickest way to reach me, and I will attempt to respond to your email or return your call within 24 business hours. I look forward to hearing from you!
