Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or weighed down by money wounds, estranged relationships, or emotional pain that won’t let go? You’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not broken. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about gently returning to the parts of you that have been carrying too much, for too long. The parts that have been silenced, shamed, or forgotten in the name of survival. You may be holding inherited trauma, family estrangement, unspoken grief, or long-standing money pain. And while you’ve been doing your best to hold it all together, your nervous system might be saying: it’s time to rest.
As an Integrative Therapist, I weave together somatic practices, Relational Integrative EMDR, Brainspotting, and Root Cause Therapy to support you in moving beyond survival and into clarity, connection, and self-trust. My work is intuitive, body-based, and guided by your lived experience. Together, we honour your story, & your nervous system.
Healing doesn’t have to be hard or lonely. With the right support, it can feel spacious, sacred, and empowering. You deserve a life led by clarity, not just coping. When you’re ready, I’ll walk alongside you gently, without pressure. Your next step is a 30-minute Zoom exploration call ($44), to see if what I offer is the right fit for you.

I take a person-centred, strengths-based, and trauma-responsive approach that honours your pace, lived experience, and inner wisdom. We begin by mapping current patterns, protective strategies, and limiting beliefs, while stabilising your nervous system with somatic practices and Root Cause Therapy. From there, when you're ready, we integrate deeper brain body methods.
