My primary work is to empower young adults and women who are experiencing burnout, trauma, anxiety & depression - particularly if you're a highly sensitive person, creative, empath and/or introvert. Our over-stimulating society can attract us to unhealthy behaviours & unhealthy relationships in order to feel like we belong. Talk and creative approaches to therapy are used which help ground the nervous system, allowing healing & peace to begin. When changes in life feel tough to navigate through, it is vital to have a compassionate & non-judgemental listener to help you feel connected, & find your place in the world- I can help.
It's possible to gain a renewed quality of life & find resilience. We can explore and experience the parts of the internal self through talk therapy as well as other modalities. An imaginative approach to therapy with verbal & non-verbal therapies may also be included if you desire... there is no expectation other than to simply show up and be yourself.
Asking for help & following through can be challenging. I am a compassionate listener who understands life’s twists and turns. Change is inevitable, it’s how we respond to it and walk through it that matters. To ease your decision making process and any questions about therapy, please contact me to “meet & greet” before booking at no charge. You're worth it!
