Many of us grew up in emotionally disconnected families, where our caregivers—who lacked emotional support themselves—weren’t able to meet our emotional needs. This can then lead us to live our adult lives in chronic stress, living in fight, flight, and freeze, struggling with emotional dysregulation and addictive behaviours. Over time, these patterns can become ingrained, making it harder to break free and create the life we envision for ourselves. You may now be in a place where old patterns of thinking, identity, or belief systems no longer serve you, leaving you feeling stuck—longing for change but unsure how to move forward.
I help people heal from the lasting effects of unmet emotional needs and relational trauma. Together, we’ll explore how your past shaped you, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and reconnect with your authentic self. Through this process, you’ll begin to better understand yourself so you can take action to creating the life you truly dream of.
As someone who has done this work myself, I understand how important it is to find a therapist you truly connect with. If you're ready to begin this journey, I offer a free 20-minute consultation call to see if we’re the right fit. You don’t have to stay stuck—healing is possible. I look forward to hearing from you.
