You’ve read self-help books, listened to podcasts, and tried therapy, but still feel stuck or like you are just trying to survive. You feel like your relationships are suffering because your "sore spots" get in the way of connection. You continue to feel triggered by things that you thought you had worked through & by negative self-talk. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma, sexuality, high achiever burnout, or relationships, I’d love to hear your story & help you move forward.
We will address specific treatment goals with personalized, detailed treatment plans. This allows us to dive deeply in a safe, researched, efficient way. Alternatively, Intensives help you to skip the wait list, giving you access to evening or weekend appointments & are designed to support a faster healing timeline.
I am currently accepting new clients for EMDR or Progressive Counting Intensives as well as limited appointments for traditional weekly or biweekly therapy. How can I help you become the True You?
