About Me

EMDR therapy surrey, trauma counselling surrey, PTSD Therapist, therapist near me

Approach

I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Therapy to help individuals and couples heal from PTSD, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and more. My aim is to provide the space for you to feel safe, seen, soothed and secure in each session.

Trauma-Focused Treatment

I am a trauma counsellor working out of Surrey and White Rock BC. As a trauma therapist, I can help you heal from the underlying wound (s) that are getting in the way of your ability to thrive in everyday life. I am committed to work at a pace that is personally tailored to you for the best results.
