Do you want to reduce the pain and suffering in your life? You may be tired of dealing with the constant struggles that come with trauma, chronic pain, and childhood emotional neglect. You may desire more contentment and ease in life, where each day doesn't feel like a struggle. We can work together to find ways to reduce your suffering and direct your efforts in a way that builds a brighter future for you. We can start by gaining knowledge, awareness, and skills to improve your ability to cope with our struggles. We can then tackle the underlying issues causing so much of your suffering. We will build you up towards a better life.

I take a caring, honest, empathetic, and collaborative approach to addressing the underlying causes of your suffering. I combine this with vast knowledge gleaned from lived experience, professional education and expertise, and continuous learning and research to help you overcome your unique challenges and improve your quality of life.

I know it's been challenging; however, I believe better is possible for you. Please book a free 15-minute consultation on my booking page or email me to find out how I can help you. Let's get you to a better place with less pain and suffering and more contentment and ease in life.

I work with clients struggling with trauma, chronic pain, and emotional neglect. We usually start with establishing a place where they feel safe and welcome to explore their pain and struggles while incorporating skills and strategies to help them cope with their symptoms. This acts as a foundation to process their pain and trauma. They usually see an improvement within the first few sessions.
