Do you feel like your brain is working against you? Navigating ADHD or ASD while carrying the weight of trauma can feel like a constant battle with your own nervous system. You aren’t broken; you are likely stuck in survival mode. I provide neuro-affirming, trauma-informed therapy that moves beyond traditional "talk therapy" to address how your brain and body store experience. Whether you are navigating Developmental Trauma, PTSD, or Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), I offer a space designed for you to regulate, heal, and finally thrive.
In the field since 2007 (Degree 2014), I offer 19 years of wisdom. I deliver FPS leading with IPNB to map mind-body links, Polyvagal care for safety, and Brainspotting for deep trauma. This bottom-up approach heals PTSD and Complex Trauma, moving your nervous system from survival to safety. Neuro-affirming, science-backed care for your unique brain.
Specialising in neurodivergence and Trauma (Developmental and Complex PTSD), I provide a safe, science-backed space. I know the exhaustion of a brain that feels like a battlefield. You deserve to be seen, not just 'treated.' If you're ready to trade the weight of masking for calm and belonging, I would be honoured to support your journey.
