Tell me if this sounds like you: you are beginning to recognize patterns that are harmful to you, maybe unhealthy relationship dynamics, ways you abandon yourself and your needs in order to meet the needs of others, a pattern of constantly being let down by yourself and a lack of ability to advocate for your own needs, negative self-talk? You can see these patterns, but you don't know how to stop them from repeating over again. If you are in a space of being ready to start choosing yourself and prioritizing your own care, we may be a great fit to do this work together, as a team. Are you ready to make some changes?
My ultimate goal is to help you access your true self with the personal integrity that you deserve. In our work together, we will define and cultivate this process, mending the patterns of the past and building the frameworks of a stable, happy life. I utilize Somatic Experiencing, ACT, Person-Centered, Brainspotting, and am Domestic Violence informed.
I know that starting this process can feel intimidating, and potentially overwhelming, but I am here to support and guide you through this process at your speed, focusing on your goals, at the pace that feels right for you. If you would like to chat, please give me a call or send me an email.

I utilize Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing in my practice with clients. These body based trauma reprocessing therapies have profound impacts, and can help you engage differently with "old" patterns or histories, helping turn the volume knob down on things which have historically been loud.

Many of my clients come to work on relationship issues, family bonds, romantic relationships, friendships. The focus of my approach to therapy includes helping you understand your nervous system (how it works and responds), your attachment style, and how to connect to your inner voice that has strength and knowledge. We will definitely laugh and maybe shed some tears, it's all part of the process!

I am currently in the second year of the Somatic Experiencing training for professionals, and use Somatic Experiencing as part of my work with clients regularly. Somatic Experiencing is a body centered therapy technique that is helpful for processing trauma and helping us learn to access regulation in the nervous system.
