Do you spend too much time rethinking about the past while feeling anger, shame, sadness, confusion, and guilt? Maybe you grew up in a challenging family environment, struggle to set boundaries, find yourself in painful codependent relationships, and feel responsible for others’ emotions. You’re always in fight-flight-freeze, and can't break the patterns that keep you stuck. It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (for long). Your brain is in overdrive and you're stuck in "freeze", numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that work.
Hi, I'm Debra, and I understand how these challenges can feel like a never-ending cycle. You've tried all the things: read self-help books, go for walks, journal, save all the therapy tiktoks, yoga, maybe tried therapy, but nothing seems to actually address the ACTUAL source of your wounds. It is my honour and my life's mission to help you do just that.
I get it - you’re not just looking to talk - you want a partner in healing. I specialize in helping young adults with trauma symptoms like low self-worth, self-doubt, substance misuse, and emotional neglect. And let’s be real - you need someone who can lovingly call you out on your sh!t! To see if we’re a fit, email me for a free 15-min consultation :)
