| español Are you living life on autopilot too much of the time? Are you feeling like you have to just keep moving, getting crap done, because if you stop and let yourself really feel you’ll just collapse into a messy pile of tears? Are you feeling like maybe the trauma is winning at the game of hide and seek that you’ve been playing? Using IFS informed EMDR therapy, I specialize in helping women shift away from the distressing hold of trauma and childhood wounds into a joyful and fulfilling life. My own road to healing is life long. This is about you not me, but my life experiences & dedication to growth helps me know how to support you.
IFS informed EMDR helps my clients decrease the emotional intensity of challenging memories or beliefs so they can intentionally choose their path forward. I also use other modalities and it's always your choice. Counseling is hard work & requires effort & dedication. Life is worth working hard for & I am dedicated to walking with you along the journey.
While I don’t guarantee that I am the right fit for you or that you 100% will reach your goals, I do guarantee that I respect, appreciate, and treasure each and every one of my clients for their individuality, their courage, and their desire to create a different life for themselves. I hope that you find the support you need and I wish you well.
