Some life changes are causing you to feel flooded with emotions and over-thinking your every move; your mind is stuck in a cycle and your body is in a constant state of alert. Sometimes you seem to be anchored down by a past experience(s) that keeps tinting your daily life. You are filled with worrisome thoughts, self-doubt, and your relationships have started to suffer, at home and work, to the point you cannot enjoy what you used to anymore. Those past experiences seem impossible to leave behind as many things from now keep bringing you back to them and how you felt in that moment; you simply don’t feel like yourself.
The aim of our work together will be to guide you in gaining understanding of yourself, your thoughts and feelings, which give way to self-compassion, self-love and self-acceptance. We want to break the cycle you have been stuck in and allow the healing process to begin. You can expect to have a safe space for this process to happen.
With over eight years of experience, I have learned that my passion lies in working with young and mature adults. I bring a diverse and compassionate lens to the table. My style is holistic pulling tools from different treatment modalities to accommodate your needs, preferences and situation. Email or call me to chat a bit more.

Anxiety, life transitions and trauma impact many aspects of life. Together we can identify how these issues are impacting your day to day life and find specific tools to address them. We will consider your specific situation, needs and preferences to shift our work as needed. The fog will eventually lift and you will come out the other side seeing yourself in a new light.

I like to use a holistic approach by using tools from different treatment types. We will begin our work identifying what you would like to get out of treatment; throughout our work, we will be using different tools based on your specific needs at the moment. I will guide you to challenge yourself gently to achieve the desired changes.
