The original root of resonate is resonantia, meaning “to echo” or “to make a prolonged sound together.” Originating in music and acoustics, it also infers a healthy attachment as in “we’re on the same wavelength.” When we resonate with others, it implies a deep and profound connection. Its antonym is alienation.
But sometimes after experiencing the perils of life (trauma, attachment difficulties, etc.) our safety is compromised and healing is impeded. We can end up feeling alienated from ourselves and / or others. It can happen in an instant, or so insidiously that it’s outside of awareness.
Together we will create the safety and path to find your way home to you.
Thank you for visiting Resonate Wellness. I am grateful that you are here considering me as your therapist.
My aim is to create a warm, collaborative, supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can freely and safely explore the thoughts and feelings that may be negatively impacting your wellbeing. I want to help you live in a healthier and more harmonious way.
Choosing the right therapist is a very important decision. If you have any questions or want to get a better sense of whether working with me would be a good fit, I encourage you to set up a free 20-minute consultation.
One of the most difficult aspects of the therapeutic process can be taking the first step. Reaching out and asking for help can feel like admitting weakness, which can cascade into feelings of unworthiness and shame. For many people these feelings will decrease the likelihood of them ever reaching out for help. It can all feel like too much.
I honour the courage people demonstrate in choosing to seek support to overcome life’s challenges. My mission is to assist you in the process of moving from feeling overwhelmed back to your resilient and capable self.
I simply love working with my clients! I am extremely grateful for the meaning and purpose the work brings to my life. And my clients feel it too!
Your goal is my goal: I will work with you to achieve the kind of success you envision.
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” – Brene Brown
