Do you feel worry, restless, or overwhelm? Do you have a critical voice that's really harsh, wanting you to be perfect or to please others? Have you noticed yourself feeling hopeless, not good enough, or stuck? Do you have behaviors that you can't seem to overcome or change no matter how hard you try? My clients learn how to separate from the parts of them that takeover, understand their thoughts and impulses, allow their true self to take the lead, and access curiosity, calm, clarity, and courage. That being said, I’m a very casual therapist who provides a human experience. Let's be human together!
Using trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral strategies (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and inner-world exploration (IFS), a variety of approaches are tailored to the client with a goal of empowering and healing wounds incurred throughout their lives. Whether you need a safe place to vent, validation of strengths, or psychoeducation, I'm here for you.
I personally understand what anxiety, depression, and suffering feel like and have discovered a way of healing from within. If you feel emotionally overwhelmed, struggle with events from your past, or find little joy in life, give yourself permission to feel, deal, and heal. You deserve it. Let's create new perspectives together.
