How would it feel to release the heavy burden of trauma and step into a future filled with hope and possibility?
Welcome to a space of healing where we harness the power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to guide you through the journey of trauma recovery. This trauma-informed approach to therapy represents a transformative way of understanding your experiences. Rather than concentrating on “what’s wrong” with you, this method emphasizes “what has happened” to you. We recognize that your past, rather than any perceived “defect”, is central to your healing journey.
Conventional therapies often target current symptoms like anxiety and depression, focusing on managing these challenges. In contrast, the trauma-informed approach acknowledges that tough experiences—such as abuse, neglect, accidents, and difficulties in childhood—can create lasting impacts on our thoughts, bodies, and emotions. This perspective emphasizes empathy and compassion, understanding that while these experiences influence your nervous system and how you engage with the world, they do not define your identity. Through a trauma informed lense and EMDR therapy, we can gently navigate the complexities of your past traumas, unlocking the path towards healing, resilience, and inner peace.
I’m here to support you through this change.
