My Approach to Helping
If you feel stuck and struggling against a painful, unproductive present or caught up in past memories or future worries, freedom is possible. We will gently face what feels unfaceable and harness the lessons learned to support you today, always mindfully grounding our work in what you value most. And the vitality uncovered will carry you forward tomorrow, the next week and beyond. No matter whom you love. What you believe. Or where you are in your life right now. I offer a safe, compassionate, accepting space and skilled guidance to experience and make sense of emotions that are too overwhelming to face alone.
Many of us have unresolved trauma, often originating in early life, and sometimes out of conscious awareness. This trauma manifests in a wide variety of symptoms, from chronic fatigue, anxiety, and burnout to relationship problems and financial woes. To alleviate and possibly reverse the psychological, neurological, and biochemical impact of trauma, deep work is essential. I am an individual therapist, a Complex Trauma Therapy Specialist (CTTS), a Certified AEDP therapist, a Certified AEDP Institute Training Supervisor, an IFS-trained therapist & an EMDR-trained therapist.
Our work together in trauma-informed, individual therapy is to create safety and steadiness inside, gently get to know the ways trauma affects your life, lessen the charge and intensity of traumatic memory and eventually, develop a more peaceful experience of living and ongoing growth. When guided thoughtfully, you can address it, move through it, and learn how to apply the lessons of healing and recovery to your life, work, and relationships. Although each therapy experience for the treatment and resolution of traumatic experiences is unique, I offer AEDP, IFS, and Somatic-EMDR as pure experiences of each therapy as well as blended, for effectiveness.
