My Approach to Therapy
If your life was disrupted by an unexpected experience and you cannot stop the cycles of self-doubt, sorrow or frustration, help is here. While you have achieved some success and happiness, a curve ball has changed your emotions. You wish for life to feel like a warm hug or uplifting event but instead you are exhausted from grief. This leads to loneliness. "Does anyone know me anymore? How can I find my ground and get some peace?"
My Practice & Services
Many people struggle privately. Others turn to family and friends but end up more perplexed or hurt. This type of therapy helps you unwind from all the pain, anxiety, depression and complex trauma. This therapy opens the door to new joy, peace, light and fulfillment using EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Somatic Therapy, IFS, and more. Book a free 15-20 minute consult.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
For a moment imagine peace, joy, and most of all resolution of the group of disappointments, and that one big one that wiped away your equanimity. What would it be like to cry, laugh and feel joy? How would you experience your life if you could? Help is here. Unique and unusual experiences are respected and understood. People of many backgrounds are helped.
