Introduction
Maybe it has been a long time coming. Maybe you have been circling the idea of therapy for months, telling yourself you will start when things slow down, when you feel ready, or when you find the right person. But you do not have to have it figured out to start. Many of the behaviors we carry—especially the ones we are ashamed of, tired of carrying, or even afraid of—begin as strategies to help us survive early experiences; and those behaviors work, until they start to cost us more than they are worth. Healing from trauma isn't linear, and it doesn't require you to relive everything to find relief. My approach is grounded in what the research says about how people actually change. Not willpower. Not insight alone. The slow, careful work of building safety in a room with another person, and then moving toward the thing that has been hard to face. Im training in EMDR because I believe the body holds what the mind cannot always access. Healing happens in the friction of being honest about your reality and what needs to change. But I will not push you further or faster than you are ready to go. At times I hold hope on behalf of clients who cannot yet see light at the end of the tunnel. Other times we make space to share what happened to you years ago. Let's sit with the friction.
