I want to help you embrace your personal story and live your life in a way that is fulfilling and connected to your personal values. I believe that through increased awareness & acceptance of who you are we can identify behavioral, thought, or emotional patterns that are keeping you stuck. I strive to help clients balance their emotional, psychological, & physical health. Together we can improve your communication skills, decrease emotional reactivity, improve self-esteem & break down internal barriers that prevent you from fully living. I have a down to earth and compassionate style and will help you identify your innate strengths.
I am certified in EMDR which helps clients heal from traumatic experiences. I am also IFS Certified (including level 1 & 2 trainings) and I utilize DBT and CBT. Many behaviors are protective and try to keep us safe from our injured or vulnerable parts. Using IFS I can help you get to know your protective parts and heal burdens various parts may be carrying.
I welcome clients of any race or gender. If you are looking for a therapist who will balance a compassionate approach with helping you to take a hard look at where your challenges are and back it up with advanced training then let's talk. Together we'll look at your symptoms, determine their roots, and work to help you feel better for the long run.
