About My Clients
We can't change our past, what happened to us or what we did, BUT what we CAN change is the power it continues to have over us today. I want to help you get past your past! Our past doesn't define us and maybe we know that intellectually but not heartedly. I know how that darn trauma can make us feel... we can't trust or connect FULL heartedly with others (even the ones we love) but we can feel SO nervous to admit that secret internal distance we hold, shame, guilt, anger and isolation.
My Background and Approach
I'm trained in modern trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR and TF-CBT, and have been helping teens, young adults (young at heart, too) treat traumas for over 6 years. Working with me, I will NEVER make you talk about something you're not ready to. We'll take the time needed, be curious and ask questions to explore that past that's still hurting and work towards solutions to heal it. I'll ask you questions that would spark your reflection, expand your insight, and support you in considering different perspectives while respecting your own internal wisdom and experiences. I've been fortunate to hear some of the most vulnerable stories from my clients. Having experienced trauma myself, I know the healing power of finally sharing your UNFILTERED story for the first time in a safe space. If you feel curious and want to explore my style further, please visit my website and text/email to schedule a free no-commitment phone call!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that it's difficult to reach our unique, authentic, human potential unless we have freed our minds from the past. Freed from traumas, negative memories, all the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" of who we are "supposed" to be, what we are expected to act like, societal pressures, family expectations and so on. Yes, we may be high achievers, posess strong intellectual minds and hold good jobs. But what about that fear of making mistakes, those unstable relationships, family/partner conflicts, or that sense of loneliness that we try to hide so others don't notice them? What about those intrusive painful memories from the past that we just can't let them go no matter how hard we try? It's like they follow us like our shadow. I want to help you start that journey of self-discovery and healing so you can enjoy the beauty of living with a freed mind and be your authentic self, unapologetically.
