Welcome. If you are here, it means you are ready to begin facing some difficult things. Perhaps you have had therapy before, but unresolved issues still rise to the surface, or you found the courage to look at the stuckness, fear or harmful behaviours that control your life. You may be struggling within a narcissitic or emotionally immature family system, unsure how to get through a phone call let alone a family dinner without feeling anger, shame and a week of rumination. I can help you navigate these delicate and turbulent situations without losing yourself any longer.
I have 18 years of experience working with Complex PTSD, eating disorders, relationship anxiety and other ways of coping that stem from trying to survive in a turbulent world. We will calm and soothe thoughts and feelings which are the loudest, while acknowledging and expanding the wisdom within, creating a new set of supportive beliefs about who you are.
Utilizing Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Structural Dissociation, IFS and DBT, we will work towards emotional regulation, moving away from numbing and overwhelm. Through reconnecting to the lost parts of you, you can learn to experience the world safely, becoming the person you are meant to be and building the future you want.
