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!
