Hi there lovers. You want to feel understood and connected socially and personally. It's important for you to explore your raw self without guilt or shame, yet most of us don't have that luxury. The goal of therapy is self exploration and awareness, recognizing conditionings, traumas, and learned patterns keeping you looping. People feel most benefit from therapy when they are ready to put in work outside the session as much as in the session. I use humor, empathy and directness to give you a stable yet direct support system to help navigate your life towards satisfaction and feeling fulfilled.
After 10 years of providing talk therapy with clients, I see the magical benefit of EMDR therapy in helping my clients do amazing reprocessing internally without having to depend on me more than themselves. This modality gets to the point and with a supportive guide you can finally feel a sense of belonging vs trying to fit in.
I am here for you, working hard to make you feel comfortable during a time that may not be. Whether it's your first time or you have been to a lot of therapy, let's have a chat and see how I can support you. It's be nice and casual I promise. :)
