I am accepting new clients! I recognize the importance of connection, safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship. Brene Brown wrote, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light". Shame diminishes that light within us and tells us we are not worthy. We feel broken. It is in this brokenness that we can find strength, just as the Japanese art of Kintsugi does. We can find ways to work through depression, grief, and anxiety with courage and start to find what matters to you and work toward it together. I can help you find hope and meaning.
My knowledge of healing therapy includes Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, ACT and EMDR. I am EMDR Certified and also a Creative Grief Studio Practitioner. This means I have the know-how to help you work on the things that are weighing you down, and help you find your superpowers again so you can fight against self defeat stories you tell yourself.
I create a safe space for you to talk about your feelings with no judgment. You and I will work through your feelings of hopelessness. I can give you strategies to cope when you feel overwhelmed. My goal is to help you feel supported in your challenges. I offer a 15 minute free phone consultation, so send me a text and we can set that up. Let's chat!
