About My Clients
My clients usually find their way to me because they want to stop the cycles of over thinking, self-doubt and chronic stress. You might even be hoping for resolution to past painful experiences, relationship hurts and life changes. I understand that you want to be able to live without the fear of feeling hurt & rejected, to be able to trust others and embrace who you really want to be. Using a combination of IFS, EMDR, Neuroscience and Somatic practices we can work toward healing.
My Background and Approach
I am amazed and inspired by the human experience. I have a passion for people, culture and our innate response to self protect. I'm drawn to study Internal Family Systems, EMDR, neuroscience, yoga, somatics, the mind-body connection and how we relate to the world. I have yet to meet a client who wakes up in the morning and declares this is the day it all goes downhill, so this got me curious about how our sense of self diminishes and how we can bring our empowerment back on-line. Clients tell me that working with me is interactive and helps them get to know themselves more clearly with new perspectives to consider. Blending parts work, EMDR and mind-body strategies, I take the time to get to know you, really hear YOUR concerns and make sure I got it right. My hope for every client is to feel grounded in setting boundaries without guilt or shame, embody confidence and move forward in life with ease because they know you can face and recover from whatever is thrown their way.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Its not in my practice to focus on diagnosing my clients but rather working toward healing through understanding your unique life story. I work best with clients who are ready to participate in the experience of therapy and want to take a deeper dive into their healing journey. I acknowledge we hurt in relationship but it is also where we heal. Therapy models healthy relationship and promotes the process of moving through the tough stuff. You are allowed to set boundaries, ask for what you want and tell people no. Caring for yourself is the most healing action you can take. Despite what our culture may tell us caring for you is the ultimate act of self responsibility. Speaking of self responsibility there is nothing like a great travel adventure to fill my cup, or a trauma -informed yoga class to get me out of my head and into my body. The key for me is not just doing the thing it's about being in relationship with the thing when I do it. This is how I really get to know myself.
