About me

Hi ! I appreciate you want to know a bit more about me:

Approach

Treatment Approaches
BreathworkRecommended for those who want to use breathing techniques to relax, release tension, and gain more control over their emotions.
GSRD therapyRecommended for those seeking affirmative support and guidance while navigating the complexities of identity, sexuality, and relationships.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

Accept the help and support you have been longing while experiencing raw suffering. Receive it as the true gift that it is, a humbling action that immediately kick-starts your healing journey and inner regulation at your own rhythm. Your story needs to be told, needs to be heard, to be given a shape, a space, what has happened and what is happening in your life needs to be validated and acknowledged. You are far more courageous and resilient than you thought, the journey has been harsh so far and you still made it here, but the road ahead is still long and uncertain. Use any help that comes your way to your advantage, to strengthen, to survive until peace can hopefully be swiftly restored.
