Therapists create safe spaces for exploration, employing techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma's impact. By understanding triggers and fostering healing, therapy promotes long-term well-being and empowers individuals to move beyond mere coping strategies. We offer new applied neuroscience techniques for reducing stress and discomfort.

I specialize in working with clients on their stress and anxiety, whether it stems from work, relationships, family, trauma, lifestyle, or beliefs. It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives. I utilize principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work, and psychodynamics in my work.
