Did you know that both anxiety and depression are caused by unprocessed emotions? To keep from being overwhelmed by them, we naturally suppress emotions when we do not feel supported enough to face them. The problem is, this genius coping mechanism becomes a pattern that we do not know how to escape and we are left numb, suffering in a life that is bleak, absent of vitality, and so far from all we had imagined it would be. But you know there is more. You see it in the people around you and you want it for yourself. You want to feel the lows AND highs, to see the vibrant color in the world around you, to be your authentic self.
As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, I will help you face your emotions and pain so that they no longer have power over you. I am here to accompany you or your relationship into the foreign territory of your inner world, guiding you into the places that may be too scary to go alone. You can learn a new way of being, and I will show you how.
You have struggled and suffered long enough. Don't allow another day to go by in despair, fear, pain, and shame. Allow me the sacred honor of coming along side you in your journey to heal your relationship with your emotions and access the wisdom of your body so that you can experience the life of peace, connection, & freedom that you were created for.
