Understanding Trauma and Its Impact
Navigating the profound effects of trauma requires specialized care and a deep understanding of its complexities. Traumatic experiences can manifest in various ways, including anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, relationship difficulties, memory and focus issues, and an overwhelming sense of distress. Trauma often intersects with other conditions such as Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), chronic health conditions, pain and stress, making it essential to seek professional support.
Tailored Trauma-Informed Therapy
I recognize how trauma can intricately shape an individual’s life. In my practice, I provide in-person trauma therapy and counselling in Calgary and online in Nunavut and throughout alberta. Through a personalized approach that addresses the multifaceted effects of trauma, I work closely with clients, and tailor sessions to meet their unique needs, fostering a safe environment for healing and growth.
EMDR: An Effective Path to Healing
One of the evidence-based therapeutic methods I utilize is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This powerful technique is widely recognized for its effectiveness in alleviating the distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR helps individuals process and integrate these memories, reducing their emotional impact. The therapy involves bilateral stimulation, which aids in effectively processing unprocessed memories that cause distress.
Conditions Addressed with EMDR
EMDR has shown remarkable success in treating various forms of trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). Additionally, it can be beneficial for individuals coping with ADD, ADHD, chronic pain, stress, health-related issues, anxiety, and depression.
