Talk Therapy & EMDR

Psychotherapy is a space for healing, exploration, and growth. At the heart of my approach is the belief that much of what causes distress in our present lives stems from unconscious material—early memories, internalized beliefs, and emotional wounds that quietly shape how we think, feel, and relate.

 

Through therapy, we begin the process of making the unconscious conscious. As we bring awareness to the parts of us that have been hidden, suppressed, or split off, we create space for healing, integration, and lasting change. In a safe, contained, and non-judgemental environment, you are invited to look inward with curiosity and compassion; to understand the roots of your patterns, and reconnect with your ability to choose, respond, and grow.

 

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
— Carl Jung

 

I draw from a range of therapeutic models tailored to your individual needs, including psychodynamic theory, attachment work, trauma-informed practice, EMDR, and more. Together, we explore the emotional terrain of your life—past and present—so you can begin to reclaim the parts of you that have been stuck in survival, silence, or shame.

​

​EMDR is a highly effective method to process and release stuck memories. Using bilateral stimulation (often through guided eye movements), EMDR helps the brain reprocess overwhelming experiences in a safe and controlled way. It can be used on its own or woven into psychotherapy to reduce the intensity of triggers, flashbacks, anxiety, and other trauma-related symptoms.

Psychotherapy can support you with:

​

  • Trauma-related issues – flashbacks, intrusive memories, emotional shutdown, self-harming behaviours, sleep disturbance, and more

  • Attachment-related trauma – early relational wounds, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving

  • The impact of narcissistic parenting – emotional neglect, enmeshment, chronic self-doubt, or shame

  • Relational trauma – pain stemming from ruptured bonds, betrayals, or emotionally unsafe relationships

  • Phobias – intense fear that interferes with daily life, relationships, or routines

  • Anxiety – restlessness, irritability, panic attacks, or feeling constantly on edge

  • Depression – feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, chronic worry, or a fear that something bad will happen
