You're super self-aware. You've read the books, done the journaling, and maybe even been to therapy before. So why do the same patterns keep repeating? You're honestly not alone. I've been there. The thing is, insight isn't the same thing as transformation. Processing and healing the deeper old wiring in your mind and body is what creates real change. To do that, we need to reparent our inner child and rewire old patterns and that means we need to go deeper into the subconscious.
I have advanced trainings in IFS, EMDR, trauma, attachment theory, and mindfulness that help you go deeper and break free from the repetitive patterns. I really value being non judgemental and having a genuine and strong connection with my clients. You have everything you need within you, we just need to connect to and nurture what is already there.
Whether its anxiety, depression, relationships, or struggles with motivation or self-worth, we'll focus on understanding the "why" behind your struggles and creating new wiring that allows you to be aligned at your pace. I work from an empathetic and trauma-informed place always. Book a free 20 min consultation to learn more :)

The two types of therapy I use most often are IFS and EMDR. IFS will help you increase self-awareness and really understand the "why" behind your behaviours and EMDR will help you process the traumatic memories that keep you stuck in the past. I also incorporate attachment theory and mindfulness, all within a trauma-informed lens.
