If you feel like you are an outlier, or don’t quite fit the mold, and are struggling with experiencing the full rainbow of emotions within yourself or with others. I am here to step alongside you, helping you discover your strength, embrace your uniqueness, and move forward on your own incredible journey. I honour that it's your path, at your pace, with my support.
Through the use of trauma-informed and evidence-based modalities like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and polyvagal theory. Together, we can find healing and transformation as we turn inward and connect with the parts of ourselves that are sending us messages that we need some care.
Come just as you are. Our time together is a safe space to let out things that have been hidden or stuck inside; nothing is "too much" or "off the table" with me.
