Description

I am here to hold a space where you can show up just as you are, so we can explore the connections between your emotions, beliefs, and behaviours with warmth and patience. We will focus on nervous system regulation.

Together, we will explore what you're struggling with now, and how your history may be playing a role in your pain, including:
• depression &. anxiety
• self worth
• trauma & attachment
• identity exploration 
• relational challenges

My practice is grounded in AEDP, EMDR, somatic attachment healing & trauma informed therapy. Please connect for a free consultation!
