Introduction

I work with adults who are coping with childhood or relational trauma. If your parents were abusive, authoritarian, struggling with mental illness, or substance users, you likely didn't get your needs met consistently. I walk with clients while they dig in to the shame, powerlessness, anxiety, and trauma responses they feel and help them reparent themselves, which then allows them to thrive! I offer a warm, humorous, maternal presence in my work. With your goals in mind, we'll reprocess trauma and give you the support and kindness you have always deserved. I'm an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR therapist. I use EMDR to reprocess clients' negative beliefs about themselves and the experiences that caused them. I use parts work to affirm and heal the parts whose needs weren't met. I measure progress in my clients' ability to feel stronger and more centered when coping with all kinds of stress. Taking the first step to begin therapy can be difficult, and I’m so glad you’re looking to make changes that will improve your life. Please email me to schedule a consultation. We’ll see if we’re a good fit and then start on the road to healing together.
