Hello and welcome! I'm Ness, and I hope we get a chance to work together. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and family dynamics. You may feel stuck or overwhelmed, facing challenges within yourself, with others, or simply just wanting things to be different. Whether it is the impacts from the past, the future, or just wanting to focus on the present, I'm here to provide a supportive space to help you process difficult experiences or challenges, find solutions or next steps, or simply work toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. I'm here to support you.
I pull from a variety of modalities to support clients' specific needs. This may include talk therapy modalities like narrative therapy, or modalities like CBT which helps identify and change unwanted thought patterns and behaviors, or like Brainspotting, which helps with processing deep emotional experiences.
Life can be challenging — Sometimes, we recognize the issue, other times only that something is not going well but are unsure of what. Whether you're seeking clarity or have specific goals, I’m here to support you. Together, we can navigate the steps toward a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with your needs.
