Oftentimes in order to grow we must heal parts that have been wounded and other parts that are protecting those wounds, acknowledging that all parts are good. Establishing a safe space we will work at your pace so you can be free from harmful patterns, and work for your growth and wellbeing. I can also use rapid trauma resolution therapies like EMDR and ART to facilitate this process.

I often use IFS Therapy in my practice. In your sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With IFS, we start with self compassion for all parts of you. But some parts are old adaptations that are not helpful to you today. I'll help you to understand how these parts work to heal & change for the best. Also ART/EMDR
