Individual psychotherapy sessions and Journey of Wholeness women's groups & circles offer support to explore the depths of who we are. Into the inner territory of ourselves to face the wounded psyche, embracing our messy, raw, vulnerable and tender being to access what we seek in an attempt to mend old stories and wounds, to transform trauma into healing and strength, and to live with more aliveness. These offerings are places to meet our moments of confusion and suffering as well as the richness of our lives.
I invite you to engage in this human journey remembering that freedom is found in the embrace of all parts of our being. |

Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural response to cues of threat or danger in one's internal or external environment. Anxiety is usually recognized through physical sensations like shallow breathing, thoughts like ruminating & scanning, emotions like worry and behaviours like avoiding. Although anxiety is a crucial part of the human instinctive system, there are times when it becomes dis-ordered and is recurring unnecessarily and lasting long after any threat is past.
Highly Sensitive/HSP
High sensitivity / sensory is an innate trait found in about 20% of the population. HSPs are built more deeply, emotionally and mentally than most people. As a result, they have a heightened awareness of stimuli, are very observant, more aware than others of subtleties, can be more easily overwhelmed and can experience anxiety. They often have a rich inner life and are very creative with a deep level of empathy.

Caretaker/Over-giver
Has your being helpful and giving to others become unhealthy? Only when we have taken care of our own needs are we unconditionally generous to others. Giving is dysfunctional when done from a place of expecting something in return. People who give too much are often the caretakers, rescuers, people pleasers, fixers, and over-responsible ones. As a result they often feel taken advantage of, walked over and neglected.
Depression
Depression darkens aspects of life making things less enjoyable, less important and less worthwhile. It saps your energy, motivation, and ability to experience connection and meaning. You may be more impatient, quicker to anger and get frustrated, quicker to break down, and it takes you longer to bounce back from everything. Depression can be connected to unresolved grief, stress, and of disconnection with the self.

Codependency
Codependency is an unhealthy attachment to another person. It shows up as emotionally destructive and dysfunctional relationships. Some signs of codependency are: getting your self worth from the other person, difficulty identifying and expressing your needs, staying in poor relationships too long, difficulty expressing and accepting differing viewpoints, compromising your values and integrity to avoid rejection and another's anger.
Awakening
Spiritual awakening, dark night of the soul, spiritual emergency. These times can be confusing, disorienting, feel like a huge void of darkness and be downright difficult. Yet, this is also the time of inner transformation. It is the soul's wake up call, an attempt to get your attention to grow and evolve. Spiritual awakenings happen as a natural product of your soul evolving, expanding, and maturing that is meant to help you live a more meaningful life.
