I'm an individual embarked on a profound journey of healing. Along the way, I've confronted and overcome challenges stemming from attachment-related and childhood trauma. Utilizing various methods, including therapy, I've diligently worked to mend my nervous system and foster equilibrium within my interpersonal connections.
Having traversed this path, I recognize one of my greatest strengths lies in offering companionship as you navigate yours. Continuously, I prioritize the nurturing of my body, mind, and spirit, employing the very techniques I will recommend to you during our shared journey. My conviction in the efficacy of these tools stems from personal experience.
In our time together, you can expect unwavering compassion and integrity from me as you cultivate integrity within your own life and embrace self-compassion to navigate life's trials. If this resonates with you, please don't hesitate to reach out to explore commencing our collaborative work.
I believe in your ability to alchemize your darkest times, pain, & parts into light.
