Are you feeling stuck or alone in your struggles? Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship problems? Are your past traumas getting in the way of healthy, emotionally connected relationships? You do not have to go through it alone. I can provide a safe space, collaborate with you to make sense of what is happening inside of you, and guide you towards healing and growth. Communicating more effectively, understanding and connecting with self and others on a more deeper level can help you feel more empowered and free to live life to the fullest.
I work with couples, families, and individuals using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in a non-pathologizing, empathic, humanistic approach. I integrate AEDP, EMDR, hypnosis, IFS parts work, mindfulness, and somatic work as needed to reduce the effects of attachment wounds and traumatic experiences.
There is nothing to be ashamed of in seeking counseling. I can guide you safely and respectfully to the root of your struggles if you are willing to put in the work. I have experienced myself the blessings of doing the hard work in individual and couples therapy. I would be honored if you allow me to come alongside you in your journey of healing and growth.
