"You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop" ~ Rumi.

My practice centres on adults affected by adverse or complex life circumstances. The visceral experience of cumulative hardships [abandonment,  disrupted/ neglectful attunement, intrusion, violation, narcissism, intergenerational trauma/ oppression,  sexual assault, and intimate partner violence etc] significantly interrupts the neurobiological capacity for resilience, adapting to adversity and creatively bouncing back. 

I support those whose embodied sense of self is deeply wounded, fracturing how they perceive themselves, significant relationships and their place in the world.

Talk therapy, such as CBT or a top-down Psychological approach, privileges memory, behavioural strategies, and meaning-making. These frameworks fragment our unmet longing for relational safety and attunement. 

I focus on experientially led emergent-creative modalities integrating our body, brain, emotions, spirit and capacities by

~ attending to felt sensations, restlessness, fatigue, burnout, grief,  overwhelm, anxiety, tension and isolation.

~ resourcing and emotionally tending to the impact of traumatic stress, imprinted as rumination, shame, guilt, and self-sabotage in the mind, body and spirit. 

~listening deeply and sensitively responding to emotional distress, panic, pain, hypervigilance, emotional safety, unease and isolation towards ease and connection.
