The buddhist philosophy "turn poison into medicine" has always resonated with me. My favorite part of my work is witnessing a client's transformation, seeing them take painful experiences that they have lived through and honor their strength and resilience. I wholeheartedly believe when someone is suffering, they are disconnected from their core selves. There is something that is preventing them from feeling the safety or freedom to be authentic. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients discover what the barrier to that connection is. The disconnect from self can show up as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.
William Faulkner wrote: "The past is never dead. It's not even past." I use EMDR therapy as my main therapeutic modality. It helps to identify negative core beliefs and reprocess past trauma that is contributing to a client's current distress and keeping them "stuck". I am informed in CBT, DBT and Internal Family Systems and often incorporate those as well.
If you are here, it means at least a part of you is ready to start healing. You have taken the first step towards healing with the decision to seek therapy, which takes courage and vulnerability. If you choose to reach out to me, I look forward to collaborating with and supporting you the rest of the way.
