I’m here to help you understand and deepen your relationship with yourself and others. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that our relationships and experiences shape who we are and how we find meaning and purpose in life. I have a special interest in attachment and trauma, focusing on how our past experiences influence our present patterns and triggers. My goal is to provide a space for insight and clarity that leads to healing and growth. I also see mental wellness as a holistic journey, where our physical, social, and emotional well-being is essential for feeling truly balanced and healthy.

When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.
