Everyone deserves time and space to explore and better understand their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors, and to experience inner peace and joy. It is an honor to share space with someone interested in growth and healing. Once we can better understand our past experiences and how they affect us in the present, we have more choices and can make adjustments in our life as we see fit. I believe that you know what is best and have the answers. Through the therapy process, and safely delving into those hurt places, those answers will come to light and help you figure out the best way to care for yourself.
I blend spontaneity, playfulness, and creativity with psychotherapy and evidence-based practices to promote healing. Specialties include IFS therapy, EMDR, exploring attachment wounds and somatic experiences, and integrating mindfulness and mind-body connection work. There is no one size fits all in therapy, we will figure out what works best for you.
My foundation is in trauma-informed care and solution-focused, strength-based approaches. By using a client centered, collaborative style we can determine the best way to reach your treatment goals. It is important to feel like your sessions are worth your time, effort and resources. Reach out for a free phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
