Welcome. I'm glad you found your way here on your journey of finding the supports that have been missing. Most of us have experienced some kind of trauma, but the impacts of not knowing how to tend to it can become problematic. It could present as anxiety and/or depression, procrastination, overwhelm, avoiding feelings, restlessness, self-loathing or feeling stuck. You may have been labelled as “too emotional” or even have a clinical diagnosis of BPD, ERD, PTSD, or CPTSD. Or you may just be noticing that you are always doing for others, but not leaving any time to offer yourself the same compassion and care.
Therapy is a space where we can start understanding what is going on; a safe container to explore at your speed and your comfort level. It becomes a workshop where we can take stock, and begin to uncover what tools are missing from our tool kit, and how we can go about getting what we need.
Whether you are new to therapy or have tried them all, an individual wanting to go deeper, or a couple looking for support to improve communication or work on those sticky patterns, feel free to contact me for a free consultation, or just ask any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you.
