You made the decision to look for a therapist, nice! Whether this is your first time wondering into the world of therapy, it's time for an emotional tune-up, or the pain of what happened has grown to be too much, I am truly happy you are reaching out. I deeply believe that it is within safe relationships that we can attain our greatest insights and have the most healing experiences. So if you, or a loved one, is struggling with anxiety, difficult memories, nightmares, ongoing worries, deep sadness, stuck in patterns that no longer serve your goals, or find yourself acting in ways that sabotage your present, then I can help.
Through relationship & the use of different therapeutic modalities (EMDR, DBT, attachment focused, Mindfulness & others) I can assist you (or your loved one) make sense of old patterns, process difficult memories and provide tools to better regulate emotions and allow you to choose how to respond to life in a way that aligns with your values & goals.
You are so brave to have come here! Know that your life can look and feel different! When you are ready, feel free to contact me for a 15 min phone consult so we can chat and see if we are a fit.
