Do you feel shame, worry or self-criticism? You're sick of trauma and anxiety interfering with your self worth, work and relationships. Luckily your brain has an adaptive ability to heal from emotional pain. You can manage upsetting emotions, challenge your negative beliefs and stop self-sabotage with evidence-based interventions. We'll work together to create your effective plan to feel calm and confident using the best skills from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I've been a therapist for 25+ years, certified in EMDR and was trained in 1999 by Dr. Francine Shapiro who developed the technique.
I'll provide a supportive nonjudgemental space for you to build upon your strengths with grounding and self-care. You'll learn the steps to create a tool box of coping skills to successfully manage triggers, communicate with difficult people and handle stressful situations. It's time to prioritize yourself with a plan for relief and noticeable improvement.
Don't struggle on your own when I'm here to help. We'll work collaboratively to identify your unmet emotional needs. You deserve to feel empowered, happy in your life and confident in relationships. I offer a free 15 minute phone call to see if we work well together. For your privacy please call me or click the 'CONTACT' button on the homepage of my website.
