When we reveal ourselves to our partner and find that this brings healing rather than harm, we make an important discovery - that intimate relationship can provide a sanctuary from the world of facades, a sacred space where we can be ourselves, as we are.

Parenting children and adolescents can be one of the most exhausting and infuriating experiences and, also, one of the most thrilling.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence based psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, reward-based training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. Chronic imbalance in the electrical impulses in our brains can have severe effects on our day to day life and causing problems such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavior disorders, sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances.
