Many of us have life experiences that shake up our worlds and dramatically transform how we see ourselves. They may be relationship breakdowns, major traumas, the loss of a family pet, becoming a parent, or receiving a life-changing diagnosis. These challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed and oftentimes isolated - know that you are not alone. My role is to help you to feel heard, make sense of difficult experiences, as well as teach you strategies to cope with distressing thoughts and emotions that accompany trauma and anxiety. Together we can work towards reconnecting you with your authentic self and the life you wish to lead.
My areas of focus are treatment are single-incident trauma, attachment and developmental trauma and trauma-related dissociation. I support folks with understanding their internal system, strengthening emotion regulation, trauma reprocessing and post-traumatic growth. I am integrative and collaborative in my approach with folks the entirety of our work.
The first, often toughest and most powerful step towards change is reaching out. Every lived-experience and story is valid and worthy of being heard. Processing and making meaning of these experiences can be key to feeling and doing better. I dedicate myself to providing therapeutic support that best suits your needs and honours your mental health journey.
