You tell yourself it wasn't that bad.
Other people had it worse. You should be over it by now.
So you keep going. You stay busy. You push through. But your body tells a different story. Maybe it's the anxiety that appears out of nowhere. The constant overwhelm. The impulsive choices that leave you feeling stuck. Maybe food has become a source of control, comfort, or stress. Maybe you're watching your teen struggle with emotional outbursts, unhealthy coping mechanisms, or behaviors that seem impossible to understand. The truth is, painful experiences don't just live in our memories - they often live in our bodies.
My approach to therapy begins with helping you reconnect with yourself through body awareness, mindfulness, and curiosity. Together, we'll gently uncover the layers beneath anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, disordered eating, and self-destructive patterns. Combining Somatic Experiencing, CBT, ACT, CPT, and MBCT, we'll focus on lasting change.
Imagine feeling calmer in your own skin, trusting yourself again, and responding to life's challenges with greater confidence and balance.
Healing begins when you stop fighting what hurts and start listening to what it has been trying to tell you all along. If you're ready to begin that journey, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
