Our level of self esteem and self love originates in what our caretakers reflected back to us. Together we can examine the unconscious limiting beliefs, painful experiences and traumas that are underneath your low self esteem. Together we can look at things in the light and rewrite beliefs that you may have been carrying your whole life. IFS and Brainspotting are modalities that I offer that I've seen people have great success with.

Our attachment system is one of our body's most powerful systems and attachment struggles can affect our whole being. Together we can examine your attachment patterns and trace them back to where they began. Long term therapy has been shown to be one of the most effective way to heal attachment wounds as it gives the nervous system a new blueprint that can fill in the missing gaps left by essential experiences with our caregivers that we may have missed.

Anxiety is dysregulation of the nervous system. I use a somatic approach to show you how to use your body to calm your mind. I offer psychoeducation and somatic practices to help you build more capacity in your nervous system. Anxiety is often stemming from unresolved trauma in the nervous system and together we can unravel what your anxiety symptoms are trying to communicate to you. IFS, somatic work and Brainspotting are all modalities I've seen people see great success from in our sessions.

Somatic therapy has been shown to be the most effective way to treat trauma. Trauma is held in the physical tissues of our body and psychological symptoms are coming from a dysregulated physiology. Many of us feel numb and cut off from our bodies due to trauma and returning to the body slowly and safely can hold the key to our healing.

IFS is an evidence based treatment for the healing of trauma that helps us listen to, heal and understand different parts of ourselves. Instead of turning away from the parts of us that feels broken or unworthy we can learn to hold them with love. IFS helps us to listen to all parts of ourselves instead of getting taken over by our inner critic or the part of us that runs from pain and dissociates.

I offer Brainspotting, an evidence based modality that grew out of EMDR which can facilitate trauma release and non-verbal processing of traumatic memories and limiting beliefs. Brainspotting works at a very deep subconscious level and targets material that is often unavailable in talk therapy.

Depression is more than just sadness; it's a heavy weight that can make daily life feel overwhelming. Together, we can listen to what your depression is telling you and uncover the emotions beneath it, often grief, anger, or trauma. I have extensive experience treating depression and believe in your capacity to heal. By exploring these deeper feelings and understanding their roots, we can work towards relief and recovery, helping you regain a sense of balance and well-being.

PTSD and C-PTSD can be debilitating, but it doesn't have to be a life sentence. I specialize in treating trauma with somatic and attachment-based therapy. Together, we will work to integrate what happened to you, helping you digested unprocessed experiences and reclaim your life story.. I offer Brainspotting, which can help the body release physically held trauma, unburden your nervous system and gain fresh insights.
