Discover the Strength that is already within you!

Welcome

Have your painful past experiences hijacked your life? Do you struggle to sustain relationships or have a tough time setting boundaries? Do you have a hard time feeling compassionate towards yourself? Do you find yourself struggling with looping thoughts (such as replaying bad calls, situations at work, conversations) and unable to move forward? 

​

Our new "modern life/world" has allowed us to communicate with others in unprecedented new ways, and yet not enough opportunities to be truly heard and understood. Individual life experiences can impact self-esteem, performance, sense of safety in the world, relationships, your mood, ability to thrive at work, and capacity to stay present and grounded. 

​

It can be hard to envision a future where you don’t feel this way anymore, but life doesn’t have to stay this way.

Healing is Possible!

​​

Our clinicians have witnessed and personally experienced the powerful healing and transformation that can occur with Brainspotting and EMDR therapy. We have seen clients who had struggled with trauma related symptoms, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, negative beliefs about themselves, and triggers for years achieve deep and lasting change and healing.

Healing is a process worth the  Journey!
