Are you struggling to let go of lingering hurt, anger, shame, or guilt related to your past? Do you feel unworthy, not enough, or have difficulty trusting others? Do you lack a sense of meaning and purpose in your life or feel alone in your relationship with your partner? Are you and your partner caught in hurtful patterns of communication? Whether you come alone or with a partner, I help people work through difficult emotions, improve communication and boundaries, and feel more connected and at peace in their lives. I also help teens struggling with issues related to identity, confidence, mood, and relationships.
I value being fully present with my clients and providing unconditional acceptance in our encounters. I specialize in Internal Family Systems Therapy for complex trauma, which emphasizes re-establishing a connection with suppressed emotions and parts of the self to heal. With couples, I use Emotion-Focused Therapy to transform old, stuck ways of relating.
I know how hard it can be to take the first step and reach out to a therapist. I also know that living a life held back by our past, the pursuit of perfection, a lack of meaning and purpose, and strain in our relationships isn’t a life fully lived. It CAN be different. Reach out and schedule a free phone consult or book online with me today.
