Have you been described as the person everyone can depend on? Maybe your recognize helping others is fulfilling, but it often stops you from giving to yourself. No matter how much you prioritize others, your relationships might leave you feeling misunderstood, or unappreciated. I support clients to reconnect with their authentic selves so they can honor their own needs. This work is deeply vulnerable and worth the challenge. You deserve to give to yourself as much as you give to everyone else. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ individuals and loved ones. I also see cisgender and/or straight people!
My focus is on building safety, starting in the relationship my clients have with themself. I empower clients to identify and let go of beliefs that are no longer serving them. With EMDR we can reduce the grip of unhealthy beliefs and allow natural healing to guide us. I hold space, provide comfort and give accountability to create long lasting change.
Send me a message and we can get started. I offer free consultations via video or in person. Please include your preferred name, pronouns and the best way to contact you in the Contact Form. Check my website (Contact page) for my current appointment availability and other information about my approach.
