Life can be amazing and messy. Relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and romantic partners can have a lasting impact on us and often define the lense in which we see the world. Navigating relationships can be challenging as each of us brings in our own lived experiences, perceptions, attachment styles, and world view into interactions with others. Whether you had a great experience growing up, or a challenging one, these experiences can carry with us into adulthood and impact our lives. Are you naturally anxious, have feelings of depression, anger, negative self-talk, high expectations of self or others, people pleasing, stuck in a conflict cycle with loved ones, or facing a major life decision you don't know how to handle? Working through these struggles to identify root causes, fix negative conflict cycles, or processing childhood trauma can be healing, allowing yourself to move forward in life confidently. I am here to help you do just that.
I am a compassionate Associate therapist who specializes in working with couples and adult individuals, providing support to clients with a range of life challenges and concerns. Being certified in Prepare Enrich, and trained in EFT, allows me to help couples of all ages and stages of life - or even one person in the relationship struggling with challenges or major life decisions. Additionally, I am a trauma informed therapist trained in EMDR to assist with healing. Research shows EMDR allows the brain to process events that happened to us instead of storing trigger responses in the body. EMDR can also be helpful with anxiety, depression, addiction, phobias, and more. I look forward to seeing how our collaborative work can help you and discover what challenges we can overcome together. Contact me for more information or if you have any questions. I meet you where you are and I believe there is not a "one size fits all" method to therapy. Start your healing process today! There is hope!
