Have you ever thought, “Why do I keep doing what I don’t want to do? I should know better by now!”
We all get stuck in old patterns that no longer work. What once helped us cope or survive now keeps us from moving forward.
Getting unstuck and breaking patterns is hard AND is hard-wired in us. But sometimes the motivation to change gets used up by the pressures of daily life and just trying to get through another day. It’s okay to need support to rediscover the you that knows you’re made for more than just surviving pain.
Let’s create a holding space for you. We’ll gain understanding of your strengths, emotions, and how you do relationships and hard things. We’ll work in ways that work for you to break patterns that keep you stuck and replace with what aligns with you. Imagine the life you’ll experience when you see that living, instead of surviving, IS possible!
I work well with complex trauma, mood struggles, anxiety, disordered eating, couples therapy, and those who just need an understanding space to get things out. I work with teenagers (16+), adults, and couples from all backgrounds and identities. I have 18 years of experience in mental health and drug and alcohol therapy and am an EMDR certified therapist.
