Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps process traumatic memories through guided eye movements or tapping. This evidence-based therapy reduces emotional distress by leveraging the brain's natural healing abilities. Clients experience relief from trauma symptoms, anxiety, and phobias while gaining greater emotional control and mental clarity through structured, personalized sessions.
Havening Techniques
Havening uses soothing touch and eye movements to calm the nervous system and reduce trauma-related distress. This non-invasive approach creates delta waves that promote relaxation without requiring detailed memory recall. Clients benefit from reduced anxiety and emotional overwhelm while developing self-soothing skills applicable beyond therapy sessions for lasting emotional stability.
Hakomi Therapy
Hakomi combines mindfulness and somatic awareness to explore present-moment experiences and release trauma stored in the body. This gentle, body-centered therapy identifies protective patterns from past experiences while fostering self-compassion. Clients develop greater body awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience through collaborative, paced exploration of internal beliefs and sensations.
