You're incredibly insightful and self-aware. You’ve read countless self-help books about healing - your copy of The Body Keeps the Score has been read through so many times it's falling apart. You know your attachment style and can identify the attachment styles of those around you. You know how to label your thoughts as irrational but then don’t know what to do with the actual feelings you’re experiencing. You’re aware of the same patterns that keep coming up for you over and over again, yet you feel powerless to actually change them. You've tried so many different things, yet you’re still feeling anxious, depressed, and confused.
Sometimes simply "knowing" these things isn't enough. If it was possible to just will yourself to feel differently, then you already would have. Sometimes our bodies and nervous systems need a different approach to healing than traditional talk therapy. This is especially true if we've experienced trauma or are breaking the cycle of generational trauma.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, with extensive training in somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as EMDR therapy. I also practice from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed framework, meaning I welcome working with all parts of you. If you think I could be a good fit for you, please reach out.
