About My Clients
Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by your emotional reactions, perhaps even doubting yourself or feeling overly sensitive? Despite having had a good childhood, do you still feel unsettled and bothered when reminiscing? If so, know that you're not alone. I'm here to offer my help. Together, we can explore and address any trauma you may be carrying. Collaborating, you'll gain new coping skills and a deeper understanding of your trauma reactions. No matter how the trauma is impacting you.
My Background and Approach
As we journey through life, we accumulate various tools, some effective, others outdated. These adaptive tools are crucial for our happiness and survival. However, along the way, we may realize that some of these tools no longer serve us well. As a trauma-informed therapist, my priority is to help you discard those old tools and equip you with new ones that enhance your sense of safety and well-being in the world. I am deeply committed to continuously learning and expanding my toolkit to better support you. Currently, I hold certifications in EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, Brainspotting, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, all of which are trauma-focused modalities emphasizing somatic healing. Trauma manifests uniquely in each individual, much like our fingerprints. Therefore, healing trauma necessitates a holistic approach encompassing somatic processing, establishing safety, and addressing memory processing. With my specialized training, I am equipped to guide you through this healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I welcome all, as my values include acceptance, compassion, and freedom. Discriminating goes against my values, and I am wildly averse to any of the" isms." As a young person, I was haunted by various"isms." It is with great passion that I welcome people for their unique experiences and insights. Whenever I meet with a client, I am taught something new, expanding my awareness and knowledge. It is with great humility and honour that I learn from every one of my clients. I hope that together, we will plant some strong seeds and care for and cultivate these seeds. Then, you will confidently march forward, germinating your seeds and planting new seeds with those precious to you. I embrace all traumas, no matter the size or frequency.
