Counselling isn't just for mental illness, although depression, anxiety and other conditions respond very well to talk therapy. Most people who seek out counselling are not actually mentally ill. Generally, they are making their lives work on a daily basis, but they have a sense that there might be something more positive waiting for them, but can't seem to access that. They may feel stuck about a specific issue and have tried different ways of getting past it, but find they aren't where they want to be in one or several different areas of their lives.

I focus on two principal tracks in my work with clients: Trauma and Attachment. I use a range of training and experience to help identify patterns, share observations, identify new tools, and help my clients "get past their past," either in individual therapy or as a couple. I'm certified in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), including Attachment-Focused EMDR through the Parnell Institute, and am extensively trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples and individuals.

EMDR Intensive Sessions are one-time sessions. They are offered as four or six hour sessions, which typically include several hours of therapy with short breaks. The extended format of this session allows for a concentrated focus on a particular trauma, negative self-belief, phobia, or other difficulty that has left you feeling "stuck." Research indicates this condensed treatment experience may lead to faster symptom reduction that is often maintained over an extended period.
