Services

Many people carry the lasting impacts of complex trauma, relational trauma, emotional abuse, neglect, or other forms of prolonged interpersonal harm. These experiences can leave you fragmented, unsafe in your own body or relationships, overwhelmed my emotions, or disconnected from your sense of self.  In our work together, we create a safe, non-judgemental space to gently process and integrate these experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach, we can workn on:

• Reducing the intensity of trauma symptoms
• Rebuild a compassionate relationship with yourself and your body
• Address relational wounds and patterns that stem from past abuse
• Develop tools for nervous system regulation and emotional safety
• Restore a stronger, more integrated sense of self and personal agency  

Art therapy can be especially helpful here as a gentle way to externalize and process overwhelming experiences in a safe, contained space – particularly when words feel inaccessible or insufficient. The creative process, combined with reflective discussion, can promote nervous system and emotion regulation, support meaning making, and foster integration in a manner that feels both safe and empowering.

Grief and Loss

Grief is a natural response to any significant loss - whether the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of health, identity, or a dream for the future. Bereavement can feel isolating, overwhelming and all-consuming. I provide compassionate support as you navigate the many layers of grief. Together we can:

• Create space for all emotions - sadness, anger, guilt, relief, numbness, or yearning
• Use creative expression to process what feels too heavy for words alone
• Reconnect with meaning, memories, and your ongoing relationship with what (or who) was lost
• Build resilience and find moments of beauty or peace alongside the pain

Sessions offer a warm, accepting presence where you can honor your unique grieving process.

Life Transitions

Life is full of transitions - some chosen, others unexpected. Major changes can bring excitement mixed with uncertainty, anxiety, grief, or a sense of disorientation. I support adults moving through these periods by helping you:

• Navigate feelings of being "stuck," overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps
• Explore questions of identity, purpose, and values during times of change
• Process the losses and gains that come with transition
• Strengthen self-trust and decision-making from a place of self-awareness
• Cultivate grounding practices and creative tools to stay connected to yourself amid uncertainty

Whether the transition feels exciting, painful, or both, we work at your pace to help you emerge with greater clarity and a renewed sense of direction.
