Hello! We have yet to meet, but I’m already proud of you for seeking help. It’s incredibly hard and frustrating, especially if you’ve done it before, but the fact that you’ve started searching is a big deal. Were you told to "get over it?" Or, had your concerns and struggles dismissed? In my practice, we don't get over our difficulties - we work through them, and that takes time. I want to be there to help you through that journey. To feel supported and cared for. To heal in a safe, judgment-free space. And to gain a sense of control over your life.

Weaving through life can be so many things. It can be joyful, exciting, stressful, overwhelming, really whatever word we want to place to describe it. At some points in time it can be incredibly difficult. Everyone has their own unique experiences in life, struggles and obstacles are part of it. It can be overwhelming at times. Learning how to navigate through the more difficult times can be challenging but ultimately rewarding.

Feeling overwhelmed occasionally is normal but has it become the "norm" for you? There may be many reasons why you are feeling overwhelmed; however, it is concerning when you feel helpless when your strong emotions come out. Your suffering has likely reached a point where you are considering professional help. This is an important (sometimes the hardest) step to take. You may fear "word-vomiting" in the first few sessions, but it is ok. The more active your mind is, the more there is to learn about yourself, specifically your triggers & repetitive maladaptive cycles. The more we learn, we can strategize which coping strategy to use.

Do you feel anxious, unable to calm down, sad, or misunderstood? I look forward to meeting you. I work with adults suffering from anxiety, depression, psychological and physical aftermaths of complex trauma. I help individuals who experience significant distress because of the hard relationships with their toxic parents or partner. In fact, the hidden wounds of childhood might provoke our excessive worries, intrusive unpleasant thoughts, mood problems, relational difficulties as well as physical pain. However, even if your intense emotions are rooted in genetics or trauma, that doesn't mean the problem can't be overcome.

Here’s to support. Dance through the tensions and negative messages in your body. Challenge negative beliefs. Assess the calm healthy attachment within. Heal. Nurture you and the "child within" while gaining understanding and self love. I do somatic therapy and help you move towards better relationships ( including the one with yourself). I work with those experiencing anxiety, trauma and those living with narcissism. I work at listening without judgement. Guiding towards change with a self acceptance hug. Inhale light and the easing of burdens. Focus on the here and now. I work from a resilient looking perspective

At the heart of all significant issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss are relationships. Therefore, change must also occur within a relationship and therapy is a unique one which provides the safety, trust and honesty, to foster growth. As your therapist, I am fully present for you, in a way that even the best intentioned friend or family member may not be, because I do not have an agenda, and I am invested in the decisions you make to improve your quality of life.

Real change comes from understanding why our impulses and behaviors hold us back from experiencing our true potential and discovering the skills to create change.

We have seasons in our lives that are filled with stress, anxiety, sadness, guilt, disappointment, grief, and even hopelessness. It can be overwhelming, getting stuck in a place where we cannot see a way forward, unable to change unwanted and repeated behaviors, where no one seems to understand or able to help, feeling frustrated, unmotivated, discouraged, alone, and even ashamed. Or you may be going through transitions, significant changes in work, family, relationships, and are understandably overwhelmed with uncertainty and feelings of loss. If this has been your experience, there is help to walk towards healing and renewal.
