Do you live with sensory sensitivity, a mood disorder, or a developmental or physical disability? Have your diverse needs caused significant changes or loss related to your health, spirituality, work, status, hobbies, or social life? In the most challenging of times, it’s easy to lose touch with your sense of self, safety, and hope; it can be hard to see where you have choice. But what if you could lighten the burden you carry — a little at a time — creating more space in your life for the things that nourish you? What if you gained more clarity around the choices you can make to start building a new life experience?
I am a Person with Lived Experience offering virtual and in-person trauma-informed individuals counselling with a focus on Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems. I create the safe container for you to explore your innermost being in order to heal and transform old beliefs, emotional wounding, and spiritual pain.
I will provide you, my client, a non-judgemental ear, genuine compassion for your pain, and the support to achieve your innermost goals and aspirations. I would be honoured to walk beside and support you on your therapeutic journey. Please connect with me to book a free consultation; I look forward to meeting you!
