Have you ever told people that you had a "normal" childhood and you believed it at the time? But now that you are a little older, you are seeing some cracks in that version of normal? Perhaps you are starting to make connections about how events from the past are impacting you today- holding you back and creating stress in the difference between your goals and vision for yourself and what you can create or accomplish right now. Or a recent trauma (accident, violence) may have shaken your identify and agency in the world and you are struggling to get back to your usual self...
I work with people who have experienced little t and big T trauma. My approach is eclectic and could include NARM, EMDR, and other influences. We'll figure out together what works for you as an individual. It will be hard work, but I will be there with you to help you create the changes and transformation that you are longing for.
My style is warm and engaging with a curious and compassionate presence. I currently offer virtual and face to face visits. Please give me a call or email to schedule a free 15 minute phone call to determine if there is a good therapeutic fit.
