About My Clients
I am very interested in learning all about you & your story while you learn all about you and your story. I am a warm straightforward therapist & will ask questions assisting you in finding your own authentic answers. I work with adults & couples from a variety of communities who feel stuck in their life, relationships or work & may or may not understand why. I find importance in childhood wounds that continue to affect our present day.
My Background and Approach
I provide a non judgmental, safe, empathetic environment where we can explore what's going on in your world at your pace using traditional talk therapy &/or EMDR. I use an eclectic approach drawing on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques in order to create the most effective treatment for you. I will help you to reframe perspectives that may have been formed through a wounded filter so you can look at things in a way which serve you better. We will work to create a compassionate understanding of your experience, developing self love & new coping skills while connecting to parts of yourself you may have felt the need to keep hidden. Whether you are navigating relationship issues, life transitions or trying to understand why you are in pain it is healing to be seen, heard & accepted. This is what I strive to create in our therapeutic relationship.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
With the understanding that the body is innately designed to propel itself towards health like it does with healing a cut on the skin, the same is true for our brain and our mental health. There is something in our body in our cells in our brain that wants to move towards health. When a trauma occurs it seems to get locked in the brain like a splinter in the skin preventing healthy processing (healing) and ultimately affecting our perspectives our choices and our lives. I have found that emotional and mental wounds can heal allowing us to break repetitive destructive patterns & create better connections.
