EMDR therapy for Anxiety, Chronic illness & Medical trauma

joining hands to help you thrive

Welcome

Kokoro in Japanese translates to heart. It is the interconnectedness of our mind, body, and spirit for our heart to feel balanced. This philosophy is at the core of Kokoro Wellness and our integrative approach to client-centered care. 

So often, when people are diagnosed with a medical condition or illness, the aftermath that affects the individual physically, mentally, and emotionally are not always addressed within our medical system. That's why we're here to guide you on your healing journey.

Maybe your headspace is ready to move forward, but your body isn't following. Maybe your perceptions and values in life have shifted, and you need guidance on what this new version looks like. Maybe you're ready to create space to focus on yourself without the pressures of those around you.

Maybe the cycle of exhaustion, overwhelm, or loss of direction sound familiar, and you're looking for a safe space to process these thoughts and emotions. Or maybe you're looking for some direction and tools. 

With our integrative and person-centered care,  we are here to help you regain balance and joy in your life again. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help and guidance. 

Wherever you are on this journey, I commend you for taking the first steps to value your well-being and mental health.

"The progress you are making matters so much more than you know"
