About
Have irritability and resentment hijacked your joy? Despite all you’ve achieved, you still feel unseen and unappreciated. Staying busy with work and activities helps you avoid uncomfortable emotions. Yet the relationships that matter most are complicated, leaving you disappointed, empty and lonely. Fear of rejection and failure keep you doubting your worth. Rest and asking for what you need feels selfish. So you push everything down to prevent the floodgates from opening. As a Certified EMDR Therapist I help heal the emotional attachment wounds and the echos of relational trauma that interfere with healthy relationships. We'll identify old beliefs that interfere with current relationships and keep you stuck. You will feel your way through emotions instead of trying to think your way out. I use Attachment Focused EMDR, ERP, IFS, and Shame Resilience strategies combined with my 26 years of clinical expertise to lead you through vulnerable situations and change with courage. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. I recognize your desire to live with more purpose and Joy. We will safely address your activated parts and create the resources needed to release the burdens and beliefs you've been carrying way too long through Attachment Focused EMDR. Session are held in traditional weekly meetings or intensive blocks. Specialties: We will map out your nervous system and teach you how to respond better when you are emotionally triggered. Then we'll target negative beliefs that interfere with safety and connection. I will use shame resilience, Polyvagal theory, EMDR, CBT, and ERP techniques to help you decrease your negative beliefs about yourself and formulate more stable connections with the people you care about the most. Credentials & Experience: I help motivated clients decrease negative beliefs that keep them disconnected in their personal, social and work relationships.
"As a Certified EMDR Trauma therapist I use Attachment Focussed EMDR, Polyvagal theory, CBT/ERP and shame resilience work to help clients quiet the negative beliefs about themselves and begin to empower themselves to engage from a place of authenticity in all relationships. Clients begin to show up for themselves regardless of what other people say or do in response to their new found empowerment."
