Navigating Your Inner Forest: Sustainable Growth Through EMDR, Relationship Support, and Holistic Psychotherapy: Life can feel like walking through a dense forest—on the surface, everything looks vibrant, yet deep inside, you may feel lost, anxious, or disconnected. I work with individuals who seem to manage life’s demands but struggle with emotional unrest. Whether it’s past trauma, relationship challenges, or transitions like perinatal or peri/menopause, I offer support to help you find clarity, emotional balance, and stronger connections. Together, we’ll clear a path towards deeper self-understanding and lasting change.
In my practice, I offer trauma-informed therapy, integrating EMDR, IFS, EFT, and ecotherapy. With a focus on relationship counselling and women’s health, I combine evidence-based approaches with mindfulness, somatic work, and the grounding presence of nature. Together, we’ll navigate your journey of self-discovery in a way that feels authentic and lasting.
If you feel ready to take that next step, I invite you to reach out for a virtual tea. Let’s explore how therapy can support you in finding your way toward emotional freedom and a deeper sense of connection. I’m here to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered as you move through the natural cycles of growth in your life and relationships.
