Great to meet you!

I work well with those who notice that the same habits and thoughts show up in their life. Maybe you had past trauma. You might feel like you are going through it over and over again, feel triggered by people or certain situations, or have patterns in relationships, anxiety, or like an imposter - holding it together at work but difficulty coping with life once you leave. You might feel like you are never enough, need to save/please others, fix situations, or self-blaming.

My approach to therapy

With me, you will learn to stop going from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds - so you can think straight, make good decisions, feel relaxed/calm. We'll also work with inner conflict for example you may find yourself thinking “part of me thinks this, part of me says ‘no’” or easily defensive. I also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work through emotional blocks.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help you learn to use your inner resources and strengths. You will learn to understand triggers and learn better behaviors, ways to reel things in, and remove emotional blocks that keep you from living your life in a way that feels good to you.

Remember, these can be tough issues to tackle alone, but with time, dedication, and patience with yourself, these are things we can work on together.
