Are you ready to move from surviving to thriving? Discover what it feels like to come home to yourself. You've accomplished so much; your life looks successful. Perhaps you've checked the boxes, reached milestones, built a career/family. Yet inside, something feels off. You may be experiencing symptoms of complex trauma (CPTSD), PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions or other mental health concerns. You're ready to understand how your past shapes your present and how to process it, to nourish an embodied connection with your core self in the present, leading to a better future.

Lasting Wellness Therapy offers a compassionate space for healing and reconnection that addresses mental health concerns at their source. As a well experienced therapist, the integrative therapies that I use include EMDR, IFS, Somatic, Meditation and Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and CBT to bring about wholistic awareness, healing, and transformation.

A free 20 minute Consultation is offered to discover how I may be able to support you with your goals. Please call or email today to take the first steps towards in person or online counselling. "This breath invites you to write the first word of your new story. Your new story begins with this: you matter" - Julia Fehrenbacher
