The Good News: It is never too late to make changes and grow.
The Bad News (but not too bad): Changing and growing can be hard work! Yes, therapy can be difficult at times yet it is greatly rewarding and can create shifts into healing and profound transformation.
I believe in therapy’s ability to transform us and to move us from dark days to days where we are living congruently with who we want to be. I would like to offer you a connection through this journey. You are not alone. I strive to bring my full authentic self to each session and provide acceptance, attentiveness and at times I hope to provide humor to our sessions.
I use a range of therapeutic techniques to address a variety of concerns including:
Trauma
Anxiety/Depression
Recovery from Narcissistic/Toxic relationships People Pleasing/Codependency/Difficulty setting boundaries Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Relationship Difficulties
Divorce
Grief, Loss and Life Transitions
Low Self-Esteem/lack of self confidence Perfectionism/Overwhelm/Stress Loneliness
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
If you’ve experienced manipulation, gaslighting, or emotional control in a relationship with a partner, parent, friend, or coworker, you may be dealing with narcissistic abuse.
I specialize in supporting individuals impacted by these dynamics and am currently pursuing certification as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC). Therapy focuses on helping you understand the patterns, rebuild self-trust, and move toward healing and empowerment.
Recovery is possible.
Young Adult Therapy
My focus for couples therapy is to help the couple investigate and identify the goals and the issues that are keeping them from attaining those goals. This, in turn allows insight into the strategies and actions needed for those goals to be met.
Some of the areasof concern I treat are:
Trust/Intimacy Difficulties
Communication Issues
Divorce/Separation
Parenting Differences
Infidelity
EMDR Therapy
Traumatic and disturbing memories are often frozen in our brains, meaning that the memory still holds the original emotions, physical sensations, and beliefs. These frozen and unprocessed memories often negatively impact one’s ability to move forward along with causing emotional distress. The goal of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is to process and integrate these frozen memories by using eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, resulting in healing along with complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights. EMDR is a researched based psychotherapy that is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma and other distressing experiences by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization and the Department of Defense. Not only can EMDR offer stable and profound treatment for trauma and disturbing experiences, EMDR is effective for a variety of other difficulties including anxiety, panic disorder, low self–esteem, depression, pain, grief, and mourning.
