Do you ever feel lost or so overwhelmed that you feel isolated and alone? My goal is to help you identify your wounds that continue to impact your life. I use an empathetic approach in my practice. No matter what stage of life you are in, it can be life-changing to have someone help you process your experiences and emotions. By processing these wounds, we can work together to establish a healthy sense of self-worth. Whether you are experiencing Grief, Loss of a relationship, Parenting issues, and or challenges in relationships, I would be honored to walk beside you.
I am trained in EMDR which is an evidenced based modality that assists you in processing trauma. I work with individuals that have PTSD or trauma and stressor related symptoms. I address Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Parenting issues through a CBT approach and an IFS approach.
If you would like to either continue or begin your journey, I would be honored to be a safe space for you as you pursue healing. Whether you are struggling with current life issues or you would like to process the past I am here to help you.
