About My Clients
You are stronger than you may think. Everything you need to get unstuck & heal is already inside of you. Not so sure about that? I'm here to help you dig deeper & find the strength & the answers you seek. I want to help you work through your most difficult life experiences & how they show up in your life today, as well as your daily life struggles like career satisfaction, relationships, spirituality, & the discomfort that surfaces when we start wondering about our life’s direction & meaning.
My Background and Approach
I believe our emotional gut guides our perception & behaviors, a belief largely shaped by extensive Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) training. I’ll help you access those underlying emotions & gain a deeper, more tangible understanding of what drives you. As you get more in tune with your emotional experiences, I’ll help you spot & deconstruct unhealthy patterns of dealing with them (i.e. withdrawal, escape, eruptions, toxic relationships) & developing more satisfying ways to approach life. I also use EMDR, a unique form of therapy designed to help us heal from distressing & traumatic life experiences. Our brains have a natural ability to recover from distress. But sometimes this recovery process is short-circuited when an experience is so upsetting that it is frozen in your body’s nervous system with all the sights, sounds, smells, sensations, emotions, & beliefs that were present at the time of the incident. EMDR helps reprocess these experiences & develop more adaptive beliefs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a human first. We are humans first, & we are all worthy of love, belonging, & respect. No matter what you're going through, we can come back to this truth & work from here. There is no cure-all for healing wounds, catching curve balls, & breaking through stuck spots on this journey of life. Let’s sort out what troubles you in healthy ways by exploring your individual experience & uncovering your unique strengths. My goal is to empower you to find your best path through this life as you heal from past hurts & search for meaning, purpose, & direction. I want you to feel as comfortable & safe as if you’re talking to your closest confidant while receiving a healthy dose of professional objectivity, insight, perspective, & support. Call me for a free phone consultation to see if I'm that person for you.
