Are you feeling stuck inside despite all the effort and many attempts to get it right? Do you look ok on the outside but get the sense you’re crumbling internally or are you at war with yourself? Are you facing dilemmas or change that leaves you feeling overwhelmed? Are the difficulties of your past disturbing your dreams and giving you cause to lash out, cycle though addictions or want to disappear completely?
Don’t quite before the miracle! I am a trauma based therapist with a unique skill set that can help even the most complex cases. I take a trauma informed approach to the work we do, guided my my training in IFS therapy and the aliveness of the “here and now”. Over twenty five years experience as a frontline paramedic, my approach is grounded and warm.
What if the hardest part was reaching out? I invite you to do so, and know that I’ll receive you with deep respect, an open heart, a curious mind and great hope for your healing journey.
