Emotions like anxiety, sadness and shame are so overwhelming that it feels like your body is shattering from all of your feelings. A painful childhood, challenging relationships, loss or another distressing experience has left you feeling hopeless. You've never been able to explain what feeling abandoned is like, or why it's so hard to trust, so you feel more isolated in being misunderstood. You have some regrets on how you've responded or acted in the past while you were just trying to survive or feel connection.

As an attachment-based therapist, I specialize in trauma & emotional pain. We'll use the connection between your brain and body to process experiences and release stored emotion. With somatic methods like Brainspotting, we'll target self-esteem, depression and anxiety-even if your feelings and memory are confusing or limited. Expect safety and skill with me.

You are exactly where you should be based on what you've been through. We will get to the root and disrupt your unwanted patterns of behavior, unpleasant memories and painful emotions. Human to Human, you are capable and deserving of acceptance, change and connection. Contact me for an appointment to develop healthier relationships with yourself and others.
