You look like you're holding it together, but inside something feels off. You find yourself staying busy to distract from your thoughts and emotions. Or on the other end, you numb out, stare at your phone, just sitting on the couch not really paying attention to anything. You are tired of playing out the same patterns. You know you are meant for more than this.
I work to help you beyond just insight. Together, we will connect you to your body and explore your authentic self through evidence-based therapies including: EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, and strengths-based therapy.
My role is not to dictate your therapy experience, but to work collaboratively with you on what you want to get from therapy. My deep passion is working with people that struggle with anxiety and traumatic life experiences - big and small, religious trauma, and adult children of alcoholics. When you're ready, feel free to message me here.

I allow my clients to decide how they would like to engage in therapy - whether that be primarily talk therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, or parts work. I often use EMDR in my practice. This can look like working on emotional regulation, identifying negative belief systems, and deciding where you would like to go with EMDR. During EMDR processing, you would work toward a more positive belief system.
