Empathy, Understanding, and growth: Creating a safe space for transformation and healing
Attachment focused clinical therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and disordered eating
I’m Devra, and I want to tell you a bit about myself
My strengths include my experience in trauma and attachment, my empathetic approach in my work, and my ability to make important connections with and for my clients.
I have vast training and experience in attachment theory and trauma. I am able to create safe and caring therapeutic relationships that allow clients to share their vulnerable trauma, feelings, fears and hopes to facilitate positive change. I help clients understand the source of their struggle or trauma in a non judgemental way which allows for clients to make real and lasting change.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending my time with my family and friends. Both are important for my own mental wellbeing. I also have a beautiful rescue pup, Bernie.
Starting therapy, even if you have been in therapy in the past, can be scary and daunting especially when trying to find the right therapist.
Using a trauma informed and attachment focus in my therapeutic practice, I work with clients to help navigate some of life's toughest challenges and traumas. I truly care about the well-being of my clients and I am committed to helping them achieve their therapeutic goals. I create a warm, welcoming, safe, and supportive environment because I want my clients to feel comfortable opening up and being vulnerable; necessary in facilitating significant therapeutic shifts. I offer insights and perspectives and help my clients to better understand themselves, their experiences, why they feel and perceive themselves a certain way, and why they react the way they do.
I help clients build the tools needed to cope with difficult emotions and situations. Whether we are working through relationship issues, eating disorder symptoms, dealing with anxiety and depression, or simply exploring your own sense of purpose, I am there to offer guidance and support every step of the way.
