Great to meet you!

The journey to and through parenthood, and throughout life, can open old wounds and create new ones. I believe people have the ability to heal these wounds and access the strength and confidence within themselves to become who they long to be. Whether you are looking for support, clarity, healing, or to dig deep, meeting you where you are is what is the most important to me. I also believe that all parts of us are welcome and allowing our brains to understand that trauma is over, we can put an end to the story that feels stuck in time.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am certified in the Instinctual Trauma Response (ITR) Method, Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR trained, and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy trained. With these tools I find that people have the ability to heal, experience less symptoms, improve their communication, and gain a better understanding of their relationships.

What you can expect from our first session

Understandably, the uncertainty around life, parenthood, and pregnancy can create stress, anxiety, and worry. Working to find the power and confidence within can reassure these feelings that you've got this, and you can do this! I appreciate a collaborative approach, I am not a big "homework" giver, and appreciate working together in session.
