I use EMDR and NARM therapies, and offer Intensives if you are wanting an accelerated therapy to feel better even faster.
You appear driven and put together on the outside, but are struggling internally. You want relief. Perhaps the anxiety is the result of something that happened to you. If your life is inhibited by your past in any way, this is the right place for you. I can help you find what is on the other side of the anxiety and fear, which could be peace, relief, and authenticity. I have intensive and specialized training in Trauma, PTSD and the resulting anxiety that comes from overwhelming or unsafe situations & people.

Life's struggles and experiences can cause us to feel overwhelmed, or even at times, out of control. We want to change how we are feeling or how our child feels, but we don't know how. We all experience moments like this in our lives and often we can persevere. At times though we need some help, and that's okay.

Life can be messy, it can catch us off guard. We can find ourselves treading water and the things that used to keep us afloat aren’t working quite so well. Old wounds can dull our spark. If we’re human, we’ve all been there. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression, grief due to a death or those anticipating a loss, a life threatening medical diagnosis, anaphylactic food allergies and accompanying stressors, trauma, and parents with perinatal mood disorders.

Many individual and relationship patterns are built on a complex trauma foundation. These patterns keep people cycling through behaviors, emotions, and thinking that feels familiar but is no longer working for them. This can affect people in a variety of ways, such as struggling with problem behaviors, intense emotions, or anxious thinking. If you're seeking a sense of control over your life and want more fulfillment in relationships but can't figure out how, I can help. The barriers to these needs being met are unique to each individual. Once uncovered and understood, they can be healed.
