Our Focus

EMDR Therapy

At Kind-Natured Psychotherapy, I offer trauma-informed EMDR therapy for adults who want to understand their experiences more deeply and move beyond patterns shaped by trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, or phobias.

IFS - Informed Care

Kind-Natured Psychotherapy utilizes IFS-informed care. This therapeutic style works to accept, understand and build harmony between all the parts of self.

Eco-Somatic Informed

Kind-Natured Psychotherapy deeply believes in nature's importance supporting mental health and our nervous system. In addition, how central our body and the information it provides is to our care.

Anxiety Support

Anxiety can stand between us and our hopes for self. It can be debilitating and distressing. Kind-Natured Psychotherapy offers a somatic-informed and trauma informed approach to anxiety.

People Pleasing

At Kind-Natured Psychotherapy, therapy for people-pleasing supports you to break free from approval-seeking patterns, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate self-compassion.

Attachment Focused Support

At Kind-Natured Psychotherapy uses attachment theory to understand our experience in relation to others. We take a trauma informed approach to attachment, and the wounds that may arise in attachment, including betrayal trauma.
