Are you looking for a therapist who deeply, truly "gets it?" If you or someone you love have been feeling disconnected from your bodies, relationships, or sense of self: please know that you've made it to a space where someone understands.
Honestly, folks often move through life trying to meet expectations, survive adversity, or fill certain roles without realizing how much they carry. Beneath these strategies for managing pain, the body holds what the mind has tried to manage: complex trauma, OCD, disordered eating, grief, anxiety, or depression.
If this sounds like you, I’d be honored to be of support. As a therapist specializing in ERP, EMDR and IFS, I help folks heal from these challenges through compassionate, evidence-based therapy that centers both body and mind in healing. Sessions with me will focus on understanding and strengthening your relationship with yourself and others.
Above all else, I recognize that finding the right therapist can feel like one more heavy task. I honor the courage it takes to begin this process. If it feels like working together is the right fit, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation through the contact form here, my practice CALM Counseling's website, or via email.
