I work with adults who have a history of complex relational trauma from emotional neglect, complex family dynamics, or oppressive religious structures. They may have chronic anxiety, deep self judgement, or a sense of emptiness and longing. Many anxiously intellectualize their emotions or experience emotions so strongly that they feel overwhelmed. If this resonates with you, and you want to find meaning and healing in your experience, please reach out.
I practice an integrative method, bringing in psychodynamic theory, parts work and depth psychotherapy, somatic awareness, and CBT techniques. I actively practice inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and accessibility. I believe learning what has made you "you" is important to becoming who you are meant to be.
You are welcome to contact me for a consultation. I would love to learn what brings you to therapy and you are free to ask any questions that would be helpful to you.
