TherapyWorks 1.74

TherapyWorks is dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by a wide variety of experiences, some of which may be traumatic.Trauma is something most of us have experienced in one form or another. It could have happened to us directly or to someone close. We can become traumatized by any experience that is perceived as life­-threatening, and where our ability to respond is overwhelmed.

Trauma responses can range from obvious ones such as flashbacks, panic attacks, and anxiety, to more subtle ones, such as feelings of emptiness and numbness. As a trauma ­informed therapist, I facilitate the healing process for traumatic experiences such as childhood neglect and experiencing or witnessing violence. I also collaborate in managing responses caused by common triggering events such as the loss of a loved one, a relationship break­up, or dealing with illness.

TherapyWorks offers services to address:

*Simple and Complex Post ­Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

*Relationship Violence and Abuse

*Childhood Physical, Emotional or Sexual Abuse

*Complicated Grief, Loss, and Transitions

*Self ­Harming Behaviour

Choosing to engage in therapy has the potential for tremendous growth. My clinical skills and experience in developing a strong therapeutic relationship, while incorporating an individualized approach, creates a supportive space for increased insight, skill development, expansion of choices, and deeper connection to life.

I am committed to your empowerment in this process.
