Are you struggling with feelings of not being good enough? Have you experienced something traumatic, had harm done to you, or have painful memories that you can't stop thinking about? Or perhaps, you are finding you are having difficulties in your relationships. Whether it's insecurities that take over, depending on others for happiness, or simply wondering “who am I?" - you're not alone. Whether it's sleepless nights, relentless anxiety, and flashbacks that are overwhelming - there can be healing. Whether it's conflict with your family, poor communication with your friends, or feeling hurt by a partner - there is hope.
I am here to journey with you toward improved relationships with yourself and others. We can navigate healing from harm, trauma, and painful experiences to create a more fulfilling life where symptoms don't have the spotlight. We’ll establish goals and take a focused but flexible approach, with the option to use a special type of therapy called EMDR.
I'll bring along curiosity, compassion, a safe space, and some tools. You just come as you are. Together we'll wade through life's sometimes rough waters to move toward freedom and healing on the other side. Are you ready?
