I specialize in working with people who are noticing how the negative events and memories of the past are affecting their present lives. This may present as addictions, relational strain, anxiety, stress, or depression. Together we will explore these past events in order for you to write a new story decreasing the intensity of emotions attached to those incidents. I connect with those who identify as Third Culture Children or Cross Cultural Individuals. I strongly empathize with those who identify with multiple cultural aspects. I find that developing your identity while processing through all the layers of life can be challenging.
Something unique about my approach is the use of attachment, EMDR, and strength-based modalities. I implement EMDR to decrease the emotional charge attached to those negative events or moments. I believe you are your own expert in finding healing. I will join you where you are, listening with compassion, and assisting you in problem-solving to create change.
Finding a therapist can be overwhelming. To assist with that, I offer a free 20 minute consultation to see if we are a good therapeutic fit. If you feel we would not be the best fit, I will provide referrals for therapists and services that you may find helpful. Each journey is unique and I am honored to join you in the process.
