When we’ve experienced trauma, or ongoing stressors, our nervous system adapts to protect us—but those survival patterns can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, & overwhelmed. You might notice repeating cycles in relationships, struggles with trust or self-worth, or difficulty regulating emotions. Maybe you’re navigating addiction / alcoholism, codependency, or the impact of a loved one’s substance use. Whatever your struggle, change & healing are possible. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore what’s keeping you stuck, restore a sense of inner security, & reconnect with a life of meaning and fulfilment.
I take a relational & holistic approach, integrating evidence-based modalities like ACT, DBT, EFT, Trauma-focused, & Somatic therapies. Our work will be personalised & conversational, helping you process emotions, deepen self-awareness, shift patterns & cultivate lasting change. Together, we will reconnect you with your wholeness, inner safety, & self-worth.
Every healing journey is unique & everyone deserves a full, meaningful life. I specialise in treating trauma / complex trauma, addiction, relationships, and attachment wounding. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore, grow, & heal. You don’t have to go it alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
