Sandy Kirkwood, RCC & ACS

Specializing in
  • Clinical Supervision for therapists
  • Healing past trauma
  • Self-worth
  • EMDR
  • Burnout
  • Adult children of difficult parents

I believe we all have certain life themes, recurring patterns and wounds that can trigger us and cause upset. Through therapy, we can get to a point where our themes become our friends and our gifts, not our triggers. I get excited about helping you to move away from self-defeating patterns, towards self-trust and personal empowerment.
