Do you sometimes find it difficult to express your needs, or even feel that yours are not important? Maybe you feel something in life is missing? These outcomes are common when we have negative experiences that impact how we feel about ourselves, others, and the world. Fortunately, each of us has the power to create change and move toward the life we desire. I believe it is important to work collaboratively with you to create a safe space where the work can be done.
I provide trauma-informed care that supports you through this journey. I specialize in treating relational trauma, attachment injury, and complex trauma. I focus on enhancing the mind-body connection to help broaden awareness and build lifelong resiliency.
I utilize approaches such as EMDR, IFS, talk therapy, and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to support your move through painful, challenging experiences. I look forward to supporting your transforming journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Thank you for investing in yourself.
