In an emergency, please text or call 9-8-8, or call or go to your nearest hospital emergency room for support. I strongly believe that people are doing the best they can in a given moment, given the skills they possess, the supports they have. And sometimes, one realizes..."I need help with this!". I consider it an honour and privilege to join with my clients in their quest for greater health and happiness in various areas of life. As a trauma therapist, that often means redressing residual effects of past or recent traumatic or distressing events. It may mean correcting deeply seated "blocking beliefs' that interfere with relationships, job performance, self esteem. It may mean teaching people effective, safe coping skills for dealing with distress and emotions that feel unbearable...so that they learn to manage pain safely rather than turning to self harm, suicide, substance abuse, etc. It often means teaching people, slowly, what it is to feel validated, cared for, how to recognize their needs and to express them, and how to rediscover the essence of who they truly are. However, on a literal level, I am trained and able to offer relief to people who suffer such physical issues as chronic pain, headaches and migraines...without the use of pharmaceuticals. Effective, efficient and proven protocols that do offer relief and enhance health. I'm very excited about this! As a migraine sufferer, I can attest to the effectiveness of the protocol.
