You’ve noticed that when you are tired or stressed out, it becomes harder to control your emotions; you experience rapid changes in mood; you feel overwhelmed; you act impulsively; you feel irritable and on edge; and you have a hard time calming down or relaxing.
I work from a client-centred, strength-based, collaborative and trauma-informed approach, offering a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space to help clients slow down, explore and understand their experience. Together, we will collaborate to understand situations that brings you out of your window of tolerance, signs that show up in your body indicating you are getting dysregulated and find ways that work for you to ground yourself so you can feel present, be able to manage your emotions, feel calm and make sound decisions.
My goal is to help you stop feeling like you are dysregulated, impulsive, and always on edge so you can be more present, manage your emotions and be able to take decisions in a calm manner.
