You're super self-aware, but despite your deep understanding of yourself and dedication to self-improvement, you're still stuck in the same repetitive patterns. You've always been a step ahead in understanding yourself, but you're caught in the same limiting thoughts and behaviours. This constant cycle often feels like a consequence of unprocessed past experiences that subtly dictate your life. Does this sound like you? You're not alone in this journey. Many self-aware individuals share your struggle, searching for the missing link that can unlock their path forward. Imagine no longer being bound by your past experiences.

Envision a life where you have a deeper level of self-awareness, moving through life with and authenticity, alignment, and feeling truly seen. My advanced trainings in IFS, EMDR, trauma, attachment theory, and mindfulness are evidence based and specifically designed to help you break free from the repetitive patterns that have been dictating your life.

Whether its anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or limiting thoughts and behaviours, my unique approach focuses on understanding the "why" behind your struggles and processing those life experiences that hold you back. I value empathy, being trauma-informed, and innovative therapies. Book a free 20 min consultation to learn more and begin healing!
