About My Clients
Are you feeling stuck? Struggling to connect? Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop or getting feedback from loved ones that you have “ issues”. Adults exploring how their childhood or past traumas have affected their today find my techniques helpful. Struggles with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, boundaries ,relationships and conflict. What we resist, persists and you don’t have to face it alone. I can hold space for you and guide you to know yourself in a deeper more compassionate way
My Background and Approach
Originally trained in Gestalt & Systems theory, I have a strong theoretical foundation to draw from while I’ve explored other trauma specific therapies. I have been using EMDR and Internal Family Systems modalities for more than ten years. Through my clients, I have come to see the lasting power of healing our wounds rather than learning how to cope with them. The journey we will take together, after I have assessed and offered you my recommendations, will be empowering , freeing and you will come away with the skills to manage life’s difficulties in a calmer, self-lead , productive manner. My clients feel supported enough for me to share a different perspective, take a risk and face what they’ve been running from. What feels like a free fall from a cliff, with your work , turns into stepping off a curb. It’s my honor to assist and witness your healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Just as a cut on your arm has the ability to heal, I believe we all have the ability heal ourselves from emotional wounds as well. And in that healing, find more positive, productive and playful ways to be in this world. I believe we are born to be cherished, protected, nurtured, encouraged , seen and loved. When we don’t get those things, children often define themselves as somehow unworthy, not capable, a burden etc. Together we can find your blocking beliefs and heal them to bring you back to a state of health, flexibility, clarity and compassion, with access to more love for self & others. Parenting issues are a deep interest of mine. I raised my three sons as a single mom and am passionate about helping parents navigate child rearing. I believe gratitude can shut out anxiety and depression and living in the here & now is the only place happiness resides.
