Do you struggle with the effects of childhood or trauma on your relationships, sense of self, and well-being? Do you feel overwhelmed or disconnected as you navigate family dynamics, difficult emotions, or a challenging relationship with your body? Do you wonder if healing and self-acceptance are possible? Now more than ever, people are feeling uncertain about how their past shapes their present and how to move forward in a meaningful way. We believe that healing is possible and that everyone deserves a space to feel seen, heard, and supported.
At Cultivate Mental Health, my colleagues and I offer psychotherapy, low-cost counselling, and group therapy. We all create a safe, warm space for you to explore healthy boundaries, address negative self-talk, and navigate difficult emotions. I integrate trauma-sensitive, somatic, and relational-cultural approaches to support your healing journey.
I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach with specialized training in somatic and attachment-based therapies. I'd love to support you to feel more connected and empowered. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-awareness, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of agency. Book a free 20min consult today!
