I help adults heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and life experiences that continue to impact their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. When the brain and nervous system become stuck in survival mode, it can be difficult to feel safe, connected, or at peace. Therapy can help you move forward.

Gemma is wonderful. Professional yet caring. Encouraging, helpful. She has really helped me a lot. She's a good listener and provides the right amount of feedback and advice. Several things she has brought to my attention has really helped. I.e. black and white thinking, catastrophizing things, etc. Concrete things I tend to do that make me unhappy. She has been able to schedule and reschedule to help adapt to my needs. She is the best!

If you've noticed something is different in your quality of life and want to take steps to improve, you are not alone.

I’ve been working with Sylvia for a little less than a year now and I can honestly say she’s provided top quality care. She actively listens to the issues I may be having at that point in time and not only does she offer quality advice but great tools for managing or mitigating those issues. Furthermore she’s very accommodating to my schedule and will meet with you when it best suits you. Without a doubt Sylvia is the best choice I’ve made in choosing a therapist.
