Have you tried to reach out for help before but been discouraged when you were told it would be 6 weeks until an appointment? I know the feeling, and I never want that to be someone's experience with me. I can usually see you within 10 days, depending on your availability of course, but I am committed to getting you seen quickly because I know by the time you're here, you are ready to get started.

I truly believe we are intended to feel connected and loved by others. When this does not happen then it can create insecure attachments impacting multiple areas of your life. People often hold onto negative beliefs about themselves or the world that impact their relationship and daily life more than you may realize. I believe your past does not define you, but may describe a lot of symptoms you are experiencing. With an attachment-based framework and trauma-informed approach, I hold so much hope for those looking to find abundance in their lives.

Hey, I'm Larkin and I'm genuinely glad you're here! The idea that we or our loved ones are struggling and need help can stir up a number of uncomfortable emotions that we often try to ignore. If there is one thing I believe holds true, it is that having feelings makes us human. Feelings help us understand the world, they guide our thoughts and behaviors, they impact our relationships, and when we learn to listen to what they are trying to tell us, they can help us grow. When our lives have been impacted by trauma or adverse experiences, tuning back in to our mind and body can feel daunting and that is where I come in!
