Introduction

Ever find yourself wondering how your past relationships and family dynamics might be shaping your life today? Maybe you've noticed certain patterns repeating themselves, and you're ready to dive in and make some changes. Are you curious about what it would feel like to bring more presence, awareness and authenticity into your everyday experiences? To really live life fully, with intention?If any of this resonates with you, then you're in the right place. Whether you are dealing with past trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your mental health journey towards healing and transformation. Healing and transformation are possible. You can cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself, develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, and create meaningful connections in your life. Using a holistic approach and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, I help individuals heal from trauma and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and empowerment. We will focus on understanding the impact of early relational trauma on the nervous system and how it may be affecting your ability to form and maintain healthy connections. Through a combination of talk therapy, somatic (body-based) techniques, and mindfulness practices, we will navigate your past experiences and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others. I believe in the power of the therapuetic relationship and am committed to creating a non-judgemental space that allows you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Working collaboratively, we can identify and address the underlying causes of your struggles. I offer a warm and empathetic approach to support you on your journey to build resilience, self-awareness, and self-compassion. Let’s take the first step.
