Not accepting new clients
I use a blend of evidence based modalities with a holistic approach blending polyvagal work, IFS, ACT, EMDR, art therapy with mindfulness and yoga/Eastern philosophy.
You may be feeling like you don’t quite fit the pace of others — like there are steps to complete before you reach the starting line everyone else walked into freely. Maybe you carry exhaustion, anxiety, or grief — wondering how to feel more grounded, creative, or understood. If your identity, transitions, or neurodivergence have brought both gifts and challenges, I see you, and I believe you deserve more than coping; you deserve clarity, resilience, and self-connection. You deserve to feel safe and confident in your relationships, including the one with your own self.
