How We Work Together
One-on-One Therapy

Freedom starts here with attachment-focused EMDR and Somatic Therapy in a judgement-free space.

From Past to Present: A Journey of Transformation

Tailored Attachment-focused EMDR & Somatic Sessions for Lasting Freedom

You dream of a life where your days are defined by peace and contentment, not the echoes of past struggles. 

You've likely tried other therapies or self-help books, yet, here you are, still feeling stuck because those solutions gave you what you needed to understand your past but not the tools to live in a different way. 

With over a decade of expertise in EMDR and somatic therapy, I bring a depth of understanding to each session that's as unique as the stories we'll unravel together. 

My approach is not just about confronting the past—it's about embracing the future and transforming your relationship with your memories so that they no longer define you. 

Through our work, you'll find not just fleeting moments of relief but a profound evolution of your entire being. 

The transformation is real and tangible: a life where you lead with confidence, live in the moment and look forward to tomorrow with hope.

    • Anxiety and panic attacks.

    • Stress and related issues.

    • Traumatic memories and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    • Emotional burdens from past experiences.

    • Feelings of being stuck or at an impasse in life.

    • Relationship issues, both personal and professional.

    • Addictive behaviors, including social media addiction, substance abuse, and alcohol dependence.

    • Challenges with self-acceptance and self-compassion.

    • The desire for personal growth and fulfillment beyond their current state.

When you’re looking for more than just coping mechanisms but instead a transformative experience to fundamentally change your life's direction towards growth, fulfillment, and satisfaction, I can help. 

The Benefits of Therapy

Therapy is like having a heart-to-heart with your inner self. It's a guided and supportive place where you can let your guard down and really get to grips with your feelings. 

You'll notice how talking things out can smooth the edges of life's rough patches and give you tools to communicate better with yourself and those around you. 

With every session, it's as if you're shedding a bit of that weight off your shoulders, building up the kind of resilience that sticks. It's about digging deep, discovering the patterns that don't serve you well, and replacing them with habits that fit who you really want to be.

And all along the way? You're shaping a life that's not just about getting by but thriving and growing in ways you've always hoped for.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is like giving your brain a chance to hit the reset button and effectively process traumatic memories.

    Imagine helping your mind do what it does naturally during dreamy REM sleep while you're awake and can steer the ship.

    Although it’s very successful in helping many different challenges, It's particularly effective for PTSD, allowing individuals to process and integrate traumatic experiences safely.

    EMDR has been shown to reduce anxiety, enhance emotional stability, and improve overall well-being. It's a path to reclaiming your narrative, enabling you to live not in the shadow of your experiences but in the light of your own making.

    I specialize in attachment-focused EMDR. Creating a safe space and building up your resources before we get deeper into your trauma origins and developmental healing. And I ensure that when you leave your session, you feel safe and contained.

    EMDR is an important tool I use with my clients for integrating psychedelics and expanded state medicines.

  • Somatic therapy is a whole-body approach that recognizes the intricate connection between the body and mind. 

    It addresses the physical manifestations of trauma, stress, and emotional turmoil - how we hold ourselves, our gestures and our outward appearance. 

    Somatic therapy brings unconscious embodied patterns into consciousness.  

    By understanding what’s going on, it starts to create choices in your body about how you exist in the world. 

    Through talking and observing your body, you can start to see how you can feel and experience life differently - leading to better emotional regulation and fewer symptoms of disorders like anxiety and depression. 

    It's about tuning into the wisdom of the body to foster healing, resulting in a harmonious state where mental clarity and physical vitality feed into each other for a healthier, more vibrant you.

A Safe And Non-Judgemental Space

Acceptance is the bedrock of our work together. 

No matter what you’ve been through, you'll find a judgment-free zone where every part of your story is met with an open heart and an understanding mind. 

It's essential because healing can only take place in a space of acceptance. 

When you feel seen and not sized up, that's when the walls come down, and the true work begins. 

Together, we'll create a space where you're free to explore, grow, and heal at your own pace, knowing you're supported every step of the way.
