Louise Erdrich wrote: “Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” Let's start your healing journey together, fellow passenger of Life.
With over 10 years of work experience in clinical psychology, I provide evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions to improve the mental health and well-being of children, adolescents and adults. I work with clients who face various challenges, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma. I also teach Trauma Informed somatic yoga principles.
Please do not hesitate to reach out and book an initial consult. I would love to meet you and support you on your healing journey! Trust the process and connect. We all need a nudge sometimes in the right direction. Let's get you feeling like your most optimal self.
