Now offering EMDR and IFS

          EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an empirical approach that uses rhythmic eye movements or tapping to take the emotional charge out of stuck memories, process the memory, and help your brain operate with a more empowering belief, so the memories themselves (and the broader beliefs underlying them) no longer feel as overwhelming or impact us as profoundly in the present. This approach helps people heal from difficult and/or traumatic experiences; it doesn’t require talking in detail about the past and often brings relief faster than traditional talk therapy. Many folks find EMDR helpful to address anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, or feeling “stuck” in painful patterns.

​

          IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a gentle and empowering approach that creates deep emotional healing by supporting your core calm, confident Self to lead with clarity at the helm. Many of us have some flavour of perfectionist, people pleasing, critical, analytical, striving parts (and many more); and parts that help us cope and seek instant relief through less ideal means like zoning out, compulsions, substances, etc. Healing happens by developing a more non-judgmental, curious, compassionate, and respectful stance towards these aspects (or "parts") of your experience.
