Emotional awareness and processing are skills that many of us didn't get in our childhoods. Maybe we had a caregiver who was emotionally absent, unaware or even preoccupied with other things. Often work, relationships or sometimes even addictions. This absence of this attunement often leaves lingering core wounds in the adult child. These wounds can manifest as fear of emotions and even a distrust of oneself in one's ability to navigate the more difficult emotions. Even the lack self love and care. We learn how to simply cope with life or "survive". There is so much more to life than simply coping and surviving.
I work with adults of all ages, to address core childhood wounds and traumas, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and life transitions. I believe in a holistic approach which acknowledges and uses the mind, body, and spirit connection to heal the whole person.
Reaching out for support is the first step-and it's a massive one. However, I can assure you that you are giving yourself one of the greatest gifts; self-knowledge and healing. We have an immense opportunity to heal when we bring our shadows into the light. I want to help you do just that!
