It’s all
about
to unravel…
Grief, relationship struggles, life transitions, a hamster wheel of overwhelm…
You’ve been trying to hold it together, masking your feelings to keep everything afloat.
You’re always a little on edge. Maybe you’re raising your voice more frequently. Or you’re daydreaming about how to escape before the day has even begun. The pressure is building, and you worry you won’t be able to keep a grip on the pressure cooker lid for much longer…
It feels like something’s going to give.
You’ve been holding it in— juggling confounding emotions, responsibilities, and an identity that feels like it’s slipping away. You're drained from pretending to be “fine,” and from fighting to find the version of yourself that feels most acceptable to the world around you.
You dive into work, drink more than you intend to, scroll endlessly, or zone out in front of the TV. These distractions offer a temporary escape, but they never bring lasting relief. Instead, guilt, shame, and disconnection hit, leaving you feeling more distant from yourself and the people you care about.
The mask can only hold for so long…
There’s a deep, aching weariness that seeps into everything you do. Some days, you’re not sure the façade will hold, and you wonder how others will recognize you.
It’s not just physical—though you feel that too, in the tightness in your chest, the ache in your shoulders, the unforgiving headache, or the way sleep is never replenishing. It’s emotional, mental, and even spiritual. Your mind races endlessly. You’re caught in a cycle of burnout that leaves you wondering…
…How did I get here?
Maybe you find yourself appeasing those around you. The act is more for them than for yourself. You've been so attuned to their wants that you've lost yourself in the process. Your mask is cracking, and you're wondering who you might be beneath it all.
At Core Clarity, there’s no pressure to have the answers, and you don’t have to have the “right” words.
Therapy is a space where you can show up exactly as you are— uncertain, flustered, exhausted, or quiet—and be met with compassion. Together, we’ll gently explore what feels safe to share, honouring your pace and your boundaries.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to carry it alone. Healing begins with simply showing up.
i’m tera-sundri, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).
i’m here to help you reconnect
to your
truest, unshakeable self.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist, and I help people who feel like aliens on earth—the deep feelers and deep thinkers—navigate trauma, burnout, and self-discovery. If you’ve spent your life bending, masking, or over-functioning just to get by, I want you to know: you don’t have to keep doing it alone.
Together, we’ll process how your past shapes your present, so you can reconnect with yourself, reclaim inner trust, and move through life with more clarity and ease.
As an AuDHD therapist, I know firsthand how disorienting it can be to untangle who you really are from who the world told you to be. There is both grief and beauty in that process, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I specialize in supporting people working through:
Anxiety & stuck cycles that keep you trapped in overthinking, avoidance, or exhaustion
Perfectionism & people-pleasing, when the urge to do everything for everyone takes over (followed by the bitter taste of resentment)
Complicated grief, the kind that lingers, twists, and reshapes a person
Trauma recovery, especially relational and developmental wounds
Unmasking & understanding neurodivergence, making sense of who you are beyond the survival strategies
I believe that no matter how overwhelming life feels, you are not broken. You have always been whole. Our work is about gently peeling back the layers—grieving what no longer serves you, embracing the truth of who you are, and finding ways to hold both pain and joy in a way that feels true to you.
guiding you through:
A nervous system on overdrive
Your mind races, your body tenses, and no matter how much you tell yourself to calm down, the efforts are futile. Or maybe you feel heavy, leaden—moving through your day as if wading through cement. You’ve been called “too sensitive,” “too much,” “too rigid,” “too scattered,” or maybe you’ve learned to over-function just to keep everything from falling apart. Together, we’ll slow things down, create safety in your body, and help you find a steadier way of being.
The weight of loss & change
Grief isn’t just connected to human mortality and death—it’s the ache of what could have been, the longing for a different past or future, or the disorientation of a shifting identity. Whether you’re mourning a relationship, an old version of yourself, or a future you thought you’d have, we’ll make space for both the grief and what comes next.
Trauma Processing & Renegotiation
Trauma lives in the nervous system, showing up in emotional and behavioral patterns that can feel overwhelming or out of your control. Healing begins by gently teaching your system to tolerate and digest these experiences, opening the door to greater peace and resilience.

our difficult stories
to appear more whole or acceptable,
but Our wholeness
- even our wholeheartedness-
actually depends on
integration of our experiences .”
