Trauma Work
Trauma occurs when you are overwhelmed by events or circumstances that take place in your life. You may react with a typical fight, flight, freeze, or faun.
As a qualified trauma treatment practitioner, I use EMDR to help you process the trauma.

I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to treat many clients who have experienced trauma.
I am a believer, as I have seen symptoms reduced by this treatment modality, and watch as clients improve by feeling lighter, more free, and unchained by what was weighing them down.

Over 70% (223.4 million) of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lifetime.
As you can see from the numbers above, trauma can affect anyone. No one is immune. Trauma can stem from any of the following:
Childhood abuse or neglect
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse
Accidents and natural disasters
Grief and loss
Witnessing acts of violence
Medical interventions, illness, injury
War
Violence
