Feeling anxious, caught in the cycle of people-pleasing or struggling with an eating disorder? Are you disconnected from your true self or struggling with relationships? Childhood trauma can have lasting effects that limit us, impacting our self-esteem, direction, and relationships. If you're navigating the conditioning from emotionally immature or neglectful parents, or if relationships don't feel safe, holistic psychotherapy can be your compass for healing. There's hope for breaking free from old patterns, knowing your true needs and desires, and living a life aligned with your authentic self, not just societal expectations.

Drawing on Internal Family Systems and Somatic Therapy, we will navigate the complexities of your experience. We will get to know your emotions via sensations in the body, understand conflicting parts, and pave the way for deeper insight, self-compassion and improved relationships. Cultivating inner safety will help you trust yourself in this evolving world.

I have experience supporting human beings with chronic illness and pain, eating disorders, relationship with food, burnout, job-related stress, giftedness, creativity/art, ADHD and highly sensitive people. If my approach is something that you would like to explore, send me a message or visit my website to book a free 15-minute discovery call - roadtoself.ca
