Some things about me, and my practice:
I’m a licensed Canadian clinical therapist, and I use a blend of EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), clinical Hypnotherapy, and Inner-Child Work.
i’m mom to a very busy 2-year old, and i totally get the impacts and changes that parenthood brings to life, and our ways of being. shout out to ms. rachel + songs for littles to helping us co-parent on those extra tough days (if you know, you know).
i believe that every human who wants to grow, has the capacity to evolve, and improve to be the best version of themselves and the best parent, they can be.
Healthy relationships are going to help heal the world, one ripple effect at a time.
“Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.”
