Imagine living a life free from the weight of intense emotional pain. While you appear to be thriving on the outside—putting on a smile and navigating daily life—inside, your reality is different. Each day feels like a battle against low mood and haunting memories, casting a shadow over your life. With expertise in trauma and PTSD, dissociation, depression, and addiction, I recognize that our behaviours often arise as coping mechanisms for deep-seated pain. My mission is to empower you to reclaim your ability to navigate life with safety, security, and confidence.
Together, we'll delve into the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that keep you feeling trapped. We will work to reshape the patterns you've developed to find safety in a chaotic world. We'll unpack and reframe beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that may stem from trauma, shame, or fear.
In my practice, your voice matters. I am committed to fostering a trusting relationship where you feel safe and validated. I am looking forward to walking alongside you as you move toward living the life you want to live.
