Are you ready to identify and break old patterns and connect with your most authentic self? As an IFS therapist specializing in attachment style repair and issues rooted in early life experiences, I'll guide you in transforming how your nervous system responds to relational triggers and upsets. Some of my specialties include C-PTSD, anxiety, self-esteem/body image, anxious/avoidant attachment, and religious or spiritually-based trauma. Curious about your inner world and ready to embark on a creative journey of personal growth? Let's connect. I'll help you cultivate self-compassion and intuition to build trust within yourself.
I use somatic therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and mindfulness to transform trauma through the wisdom of the body. I'll help you deepen your relationship with yourself. Together we'll discover unmet needs and you'll learn a practice of relational repair from within where you can find that You are the one you've been waiting for.
I understand how trauma shapes your life, causing overwhelming emotions. I want you to know that you’re not alone. Together, we can create a safe and imaginative space where you can explore, heal, and embrace a brighter future. I am here to offer support as you navigate your way toward inner balance.
