Using a combination of analysis, behavior change, and advanced tools like EMDR (Certified) and Informed IFS, we can quickly and less painfully effect lasting change.
On the outside it seems you have it together. You're successful and well respected but inside there's a fear that they'll find out what a fraud you are. When the mask falls they'll all know the effort it takes to get things done. They don't know how loud it is in your head: all the noise, the anxiety, insecurity, negative self evaluations. You get things done but not without a ton of energy. It impacts work, self, and even relationships. You're tired and lost. This is life as you know it but it doesn't actually have to stay this way.

My specialty is infusing cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR (for trauma) with Mindfulness (Breathwork/Yoga/Meditation) & Music and Sound therapy.
Our world is changing at such a rapid pace. You may feel it's difficult to cope with all these shifts in your life, and to keep up with daily routines. We have all been through a huge upheaval the past several years. Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental place to process some of these challenges? Or maybe you need some tools and resources to help you (or a loved one) manage anxiety, stress or trauma. Maybe your child/tween/teen/20 yr old has become surprisingly disagreeable, spending less time with family, pushing you away. You may notice changes in appearance, or name. Whether sudden or gradual, you may not know how to cope.
