Clients who work with me realize how they can be in the driver's seat of their life and challenge the guilt, shame and pain that keeps them stuck. Many of my clients overlook their well-being due to exhausting themselves with work or have difficulties managing relationships, boundaries and handling big emotions. As most folks have their vices, whether it is social media, alcohol, drugs, shopping or porn, I have been able to compassionately support clients in identifying alternative strategies that promote safety, decrease harm, and manage or abstain from consumption.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma-related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Self-exploration is probably the most challenging but highly rewarding journey you can take in your life. The narrative you hold about yourself is based on your lived experiences. It's a combination of controlled and uncontrolled events. It's often the uncontrolled events/experiences in your life that take a gripping hold, disempower you, frighten you and disable your ability to function. Getting control of your circumstances is truly liberating. Reaching that freedom of choice takes courage, perseverance, resilience and grit. Let’s access all of those strengths within you and get started.
