Helping and guiding those who have experienced trauma, including the trauma of being in narcissistic or other toxic and antagonoistic relationships, is my focus and specialty as a therpaist. My training, skills, and tools are honed to help people heal from these experiences. With the use of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), extensive training to treat all levels of dissociation (including DID), and regulating the nervous system to a more calm state, I can help my clients to manage the day to day much more effectively and start to live with more peace in their bodies and their lives.
Myself and the staff at Stephens Therapy Associates are equipped to help you manage everyday troubles to severe and long standing traumas. We can meet you wherever you're at on your healing journey.
My approach is person centered to help you discover what blocks you from having the full life you want and to overcome any barriers to getting there. Specializing in working with military and their families, trauma, and narcissistic abuse.
