Life can be so hard sometimes. Navigating the emotions that arise from the complexities of life can feel daunting and confusing at times. I believe that you hold the inner emotional wisdom and through our journey we will listen and understand your emotional self.
Who am I? I am a therapist who is passionate about working with clients and their emotional experiences. Our emotional systems are often difficult to understand, the discomfort we experience or the feelings that arise can become hard to manage. We tend to then feel overwhelmed and dysregulated, which may present as pervasive discomfort such as symptoms of depression and anxiety. Many of us were not taught about emotions so we do the best we can in any given moment. However, what may have worked for us in the past we find no longer works in the present and then we feel stuck.
In our work together, we will explore your experiences and your inner world. This involves understanding emotional patterns and how they form from our early life experiences and throughout our life. By understanding our longstanding patterns we together can transform your emotional experience. Together we will learn what is happening inside of your mind and body, allowing you to reconnect with yourself. We will explore self-criticism, challenge stuck feelings and look into understanding the impacts of trauma. Working in this way requires an openness to experiencing your inner world, and a motivation to approach and transform your emotion patterns.
I have a background of supporting those recovering from trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, infertility, prenatal/postnatal, really any adversities, difficulties, trauma or disturbing life events. My own life experiences and the continued emotionally processing from them are some of the best training I could have ever received.
