Shame is a soul eating emotion.
Are you tired of feeling shame? Doing anything you can to avoid it? Are you tired of thoughts consuming your mind? Avoiding people, places, events? Working endlessly to be perfect or to hide your imperfections? Tired of using alcohol or drugs to manage your mood and numb your feelings of shame and worthlessness or of hiding your loved ones’ addiction? Tired of feeling worthless and shitty about yourself? Are you just fucking tired?
Let's work together to find the root of your shame, your feelings of worthlessness, and the anxiety, depression, addiction they cause. Let's work together through your trauma. Let's work together to build healthy coping skills. Let's work together to heal.
I work with adolescents and adults struggling with or affected by addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I offer a human experience as we navigate through your life's experiences. Using a variety of clinical approaches including EMDR and IFS/parts work, I tailor my approach to your needs with empathy, understanding, and humor.
