Adult Addictions

When life"s challenges become too overwhelming, our mind & body can feel stuck, out of control, like there"s no way out. You may even feel disconnected from your body, not fully present in your everyday life, or in a constant state of alarm. This pain can start in early childhood & is built on throughout our life, or it can be a single event that destabilizes our internal resources. It’s important to remember these responses are normal adaptations by the mind & body to abnormal situations. This dysregulation can show up in our lives as anxiety, depression, chronic pain & illness, substance use, negative thoughts, or low self-esteem. Using a combination of somatic & cognitive therapies, we will work together to identify your unhelpful patterns of behaviour, process traumatic experiences, explore negative thoughts, & help you develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges. Through nervous system education, you will learn to foster the mind-body connection & to take back agency & control. In my practice, I aim to provide a safe space for growth, curiosity, & self discovery with a hint of humour. I am passionate about helping people discover their innate capacity for inner resilience and self-regulation through nervous system health. I invite you to visit my website to book a complimentary phone consultation to learn more.
