Secretly struggling with feeling I am “not enough,” “don’t belong,” or feeling "damaged". Do you find yourself struggling to share what’s most important to you with people that matter most? I have been there. We all desire healthy relationships and want to feel heard, understood, and accepted. With 5 plus years experience helping people with childhood trauma, emotional pain, and strained relationships with the self and others, I am confident we can create a path forward to get you to where you want to be.
I use EMDR, Mindfulness, IFS and other somatic therapies to help you process and heal from emotional wounds and relational hurts. Move towards a stronger sense of self, authenticity, connection, and over all well-being today by letting me help you develop the self-awareness, skills, and tools needed to get unstuck and create meaningful change.
I believe whole heartily that creating the space for self-exploration promotes clarity, purpose, connection, and joy. If you are ready to find relief, healing and growth, or if you have questions about my therapy practice or approach, I invite you to email me to schedule a free 15 minute video consultation call.
