I help clients go from overwhelmed, self-critical, and stuck to feeling grounded, connected, and compassionate toward themselves. After trauma, it's easy to feel disconnected from yourself. Overthinking, questioning everything, and shame is exhausting. My work focuses on helping college students and young adults who've experience sexual violence, relationship trauma, and intimate partner violence reconnect with themselves beyond the shame, doubt and overwhelm.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down, get to know yourself, and come back to feeling authentic, confident, and grounded. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up fully. I primarily use EMDR, ACT, and IFS when working with my clients but we'll collaborate and find the approaches that work best for you!
If you've been thinking about therapy, or you have a sense that something in your life needs to shift, reach out. I'd love to connect, answer any questions, and help you get started.
