Message from clinician
Statement to Client
As we face pain and challenges, our instinct often leads us to distance ourselves from our emotional wounds, which can create fragmentation within us. Over time, this disconnection can deepen, causing us to react in ways that do not align with our true selves. This fragmentation affects how we interact with others and perceive ourselves and can even hinder our overall well-being. To feel whole again, it’s essential to consciously address the parts of ourselves that may have been neglected or pushed aside. Acknowledging our experiences with kindness and understanding lays the foundation for healing and reintegration.
I offer a compassionate space where your emotional experience is valued and respected. I support adults and children navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. Using attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches, I aim to build trust and foster healthy connections with oneself and others.
Together, we can embark on a journey of self-exploration and growth. We will nurture self-compassion, encouraging a gentle and accepting approach towards yourself. This means acknowledging both your strengths and vulnerabilities with kindness. By reconnecting with your authentic self, you’ll be empowered to live a more fulfilling and genuine life.
