Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Trauma-informed Therapy
If you’ve felt misunderstood or dismissed when talking about your pain and stress with friends or even professionals, I want you to know that I will take your struggles seriously. As a therapist I focus on supporting people with various kinds of trauma, including childhood trauma, sexual abuse and assault, workplace incidents, trauma from accidents, long term neglect or single traumatic incidents. I have extensive training in a type of therapy that was designed for trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). This kind of therapy has been transformational for many people living with the daily impacts of trauma.
Healing is Possible
As a trauma survivor, I have personally seen and experienced the transformational effects that seeing a trusted mental health professional can provide. I have previously attended therapy from an EMDR trained therapist and it moved me to the next phase of healing that many years of talk therapy had not been able to heal.
After much of my own healing had taken place, I was motivated to become a therapist myself, because I know the hopelessness that can come from living with pain from the past, and I also know that healing from trauma is very possible and empowering.
Talking to someone who understands, from both professional and personal experience can provide you with unique insights and tools for your healing and growth. Therapy takes time, especially when it comes to deep trauma, but it is time well spent and it brings with it real relief and the opportunity for meaningful change.
When you are properly supported, therapy can help you to feel both empowered, and safe to be vulnerable with your loved ones. It can be hard when you’ve lived with pain for a long time, but your strength and your softness can coexist and even complement each other. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore your feelings, find clarity, and confidence.
