Goldy works with people seeking a warm, practical and neuro-affirming clinician to support trauma, PTSD, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, addiction, grief, emotional regulation difficulties or complex life stress. Many clients come wanting to feel genuinely understood while also learning realistic tools for daily life. Goldy offers trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy that supports insight, regulation, self-understanding and meaningful change.
Goldy offers warm, practical and trauma-informed therapy for trauma, PTSD, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief, addiction and emotional regulation difficulties. Drawing on EMDR, CPT, CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients build insight, stability and practical tools for change.
Therapy can feel daunting, especially if you have spent years masking, coping or trying to manage everything alone. Goldy offers a respectful, neuro-affirming and non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, explore what is happening and begin building a clearer way forward. When you feel ready, you are welcome to make contact.
