Like most of my clients, I have my own share of childhood trauma. I’ve had to deconstruct the childhood messages that told me I wasn't OK as me; I wasn't enough. I’ve had to learn to set boundaries and learn that I’m not required to put others' needs above my own. I've had to learn how to have relationships, to trust others, and to trust myself. The very path that many of you are starting out on, I have walked myself. This journey is about taking away the power of the past and learning to believe you aren't just faking your successes. I’ve worked hard to reclaim my own story, now I want to help you reclaim yours.
I specialize in helping those with anxiety and trauma, both in individual and couples counseling. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Parts work, and EMDR approaches are just some of the therapies I use to help client's find ways to ease the sharp edges of relationships and life. I help find ways to navigate difficulties in life and move with ease and grace.
I'm not a passive therapist, you won't just be talking to a blank slate that asks "how does that make you feel". I like to use humor, playful sarcasm, and just enough of “tell it like it is” to help you reach your personal goals. I will challenge you to stretch but not break your comfort zones. I will also sometimes be the kick in the pants you need.
