Devonna Gonsalves

Hi, I'm Devonna. I'm a trauma-informed holistic therapist who helps women break free from overthinking, anxious relationship patterns, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from constantly trying to keep everything together. If you've ever found yourself replaying conversations, questioning your worth, feeling triggered in relationships, or wondering why you react the way you do, you're not alone. While these experiences can feel confusing and frustrating, they often have deeper roots connected to past experiences, attachment patterns, and the way our nervous system responds to perceived threats. So often, these patterns aren't signs that something is wrong with you they're protective responses your nervous system developed to help you survive.

My approach focuses on helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns. Together, we will explore what may be driving anxiety, emotional reactions, and patterns that leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or others. I believe meaningful change begins with self-awareness, compassion, and understanding. Through a trauma-informed and holistic approach, I incorporate evidence-based strategies to help you strengthen emotional regulation, build self-trust, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and create more secure and fulfilling relationships.

During our first session, we will begin by exploring what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping to better understand, and the areas of your life where you would like to create change. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My role is to help guide the process, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in understanding yourself more deeply.
