When the Body Carries What Words Cannot

Welcome

If you are here, you may be carrying the impact of trauma, stress, or experiences that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others. You may appear to be managing day to day, while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on edge.

My work begins from the understanding that trauma responses are not personal failures. They are ways your nervous system adapted to protect you. These patterns often make sense in the context of what you have lived through and, at times, what has been carried across generations.

A trauma-informed approach to therapy

Trauma-informed therapy is not about forcing disclosure or revisiting painful memories before you are ready. It centres safety, pacing, and choice. The focus is on helping your nervous system feel more settled in the present, often through small and intentional steps.

Inter-generational trauma can show up in many ways, including anxiety, emotional withdrawal, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or a sense of carrying something that does not fully feel like your own. Therapy offers space to explore these patterns with care and without blame, and to begin developing new ways of relating to yourself and others.

My approach is collaborative and body-aware. We pay attention to what is being said and to what you notice in your body. Progress in trauma work is often gradual and non-linear, and that is both expected and respected.

Is this the right fit?

My practice may be a good fit if you are seeking a slower, trauma-informed approach to therapy, are curious about how inter-generational patterns may be affecting your life, and value collaboration, choice, and respect for your boundaries.

You do not need to have everything figured out or feel ready to begin. Taking time to explore, noticing what resonates, and moving at your own pace are all valid parts of the process.

I look forward to connecting when the time feels right.
