This is your life to live.
Trauma and limiting beliefs can get in the way of living life as our best self. We are all born whole, and sometimes just need a little help on the path back to ourselves. Let’s walk you back home.
I specialize in treating trauma and anxiety. I am an EMDR Certified therapist, and this is my primary approach. I am formally trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) level 1 by the Institute and use parts work when appropriate. I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and work with clients to leverage these skills as indicated.
You deserve a beautiful life that you love. I'm here to guide you through a process that will help you embrace your one life, and get back to living it on your own terms. I look forward to getting to know you better and learning how I can support you toward living your life more fully. <3
