Do you find yourself struggling with frequent worries, anxiety, depression, memories from the past? You want to move forward, live freely, and truly enjoy life, work, and meaningful relationships with others. You have goals you want to achieve and are tired of feeling held back. Through reflection you realize that many of these struggles are tied to the past... perhaps to childhood experiences, unhealthy relationships, trauma, or past difficult situations you went through. Perhaps you can't even quite identify the reason, you just feel a heavy emotional burden and that something is holding you back.
In therapy, we will work to heal past wounds that influence your current struggles. We will identify patterns that are hindering you in life and we will work to learn more positive ones. You will learn skills to deal with emotions in a healthy way. We will uncover unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives and work to rewrite them to be helpful.
My goal is to offer a fresh perspective, outside point of view as you achieve your goals in life. We will discover purpose, meaning, and hope for your future. The journey through life is tough but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Visit my website to set up a 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit in working together.

I combine practical/solution focused approaches to manage day to day struggles, with approaches that explore the past to uncover why the day to day struggles may be so frequent or strong. Example, we'll use CBT/DBT skills to manage anxiety attacks- grounding, deep breathing, mindfulness. Then we'll use EMDR and IFS/parts work to explore what is triggering anxiety and reprocess past situations.

Session time is a balance between learning practical skills for managing present struggles, with digging deep into family of origin issues, the childhood experiences, exposure to toxic dynamics, and trauma. I draw from CBT, DBT and ACT for coping skills to manage emotional roller coasters and negative/unhelpful thoughts. I use IFS/Parts work, EMDR and family systems work through past experiences.
