Do you feel your survival strategies are keeping you from truly thriving? Maybe you find yourself scrolling social media for hours avoiding challenging emotions? Maybe you grew up around addiction or dysfunction and struggle to feel safe in relationships.
Together, we can explore the protective parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe. By building compassion for these parts and leading from your authentic Self, you can create more freedom, connection, and fulfillment internally and in your relationships.
Your pain is real, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’d be honored to support you on this journey.
I integrate IFS, EMDR, and EFT to support LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and people in larger bodies. Together, we can work toward making peace with your body, healing childhood wounds, and/or understanding the protective parts that have helped you survive. I offer in person sessions in Santee Mondays and Thursdays and telehealth sessions Mondays -Thursdays.
Whatever you’re struggling with, having a neutral, supportive space can be life-changing. Therapy helps you make sense of your experiences, understand why things feel daunting, and identify what you truly want and need—all without an agenda. I’d love to support you in that process.
