The Only Constant in Life is Change"- Heraclitus. Who can't relate to that being true the past years with the pandemic & unrelenting change?! The ability to navigate challenges of ALL sorts, to understand our reactions & needs, to have a varied "toolkit" of skills to deal with what life brings our way, & to create the supports & practices to help us through as best possible...it's more important than ever. And for so many of us, trauma & loss have been an additional, important part of the past years. For many, trauma and loss were already in our history, and continue to be. Please know, therapy can help!
I specialize in trauma therapy, which often includes grief & loss experience. Maybe you don't relate to the word "trauma"? Have you experienced things, recent or past, that still upset you, that you avoid thinking about? Let's go with that. Using EMDR, DBT skills training & Schema therapy you CAN find relief from what haunts you, what robs you of happiness!
I KNOW this, personally & professionally: with right therapies, commitment, the empowerment of understanding & effective tools for living..it CAN get better. To entrust another with your vulnerabilities in this work is courageous. To partner in supporting you toward your goals? My honour. Please, feel free to contact me, let's discuss what could be better!
