Introduction

Hi! I’m Vlasta, an EMDR therapist, and I’m here to support you through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping adults and kids (ages 5 and up) heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, addiction, and the struggles that come with life transitions and relationships. Whatever you’re going through, I believe that with the right support, you can choose how you move through it. My goal is to help you feel grounded in the present while gently exploring the past to create lasting healing. Trauma isn’t just about what happens to us; it’s about how our bodies and minds respond. Often, traumatic experiences aren’t fully processed by our nervous system, and they can feel like they’re stuck in time, replaying over and over. EMDR therapy is a powerful tool to help us get “unstuck” and begin the healing process. It’s not just about relieving symptoms; it’s about uncovering and understanding the deeper patterns that may have been influencing your life without you realizing it. My goal is to empower you to break free from those old patterns and start living life on your own terms.
