Do you have a sense that something about your childhood is affecting you as an adult? Maybe you can put your finger on exactly what it is, or maybe you are just seeing patterns in your life & relationships that have you wondering if there’s something deeper behind it. Past therapy experiences may have been helpful in some ways, but you seem to keep getting stuck. It feels like anxiety and self-doubt are the ones controlling the direction of your life, not what is true and authentic to you. You’re ready to address these things at the source, so you can finally work with your inner critic and regain control of your life.
I specialize in helping people understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, self-doubt, & low self-esteem in order to create genuine, long-lasting changes in their lives. I welcome humor, big emotions, & f-bombs. I want to create a space that feels supportive for you. We’ll use various methods, including IFS, EMDR, & brainspotting to help you heal.
Therapy with me is a place where you can feel safe exploring both new and old hurts, better understanding and slowly beginning to heal the various parts of you: the parts that are overwhelmed, stuck, nervous, angry, hurt, or on guard. Please visit my website to schedule a free consultation to decide if I’m the right fit for you.
