Do you have an irrational, gut feeling you can't seem to shake? Maybe something telling you that you're not good enough, unsafe, powerless...? Sometimes, difficult experiences in our past can cloud how we live in and see the present. We find ourselves overreacting to things or people, feeling anxious or worthless. Our head can tell us we are being irrational, but that doesn't change the feeling. One of my goals is in helping you re-process the experiences in your life that push these feelings, so you not only know that you're okay - you feel it.
I want you to know that there is hope. I focus on applying the most evidence-backed therapies that have been shown to heal - not just manage - wounds caused by the past, pushing these painful thoughts and feelings. I am a certified EMDR Consultant-in-Training, Level 2 IFS therapist, and trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Brainspotting, and TRM.
It is important that therapy help you manage overwhelming feelings (including numbness), but it is also important to me to help you through the deeper work of healing the underlying cause. Let's work together to start clearing these blocks and living a fuller, freer, and more authentic life.
