How I Can Help
My clients are people who tend to look capable, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent to others while internally feeling overwhelmed, reactive, disconnected, anxious, or exhausted from carrying so much for so long.
Many of my clients have spent years understanding their patterns intellectually but still feeling emotionally stuck. Like them, maybe you have have tried therapy before and are looking for something deeper, more engaged, and more transformational than simply processing weekly stressors.
Therapy with me is a space to meaningfully work through the deeper experiences that shape how you relate to yourself, your emotions, and other people. Some of my offerings include:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):
EMDR is a form of psychotherapy designed to heal the symptoms of distress that result from traumatic experiences.
Our brains are resilient and designed to heal.
EMDR works to “rewire” the way traumatic memories are stored, activating the brain’s natural healing processes, bringing relief and the ability to recover from the emotional wounds associated with traumatic experiences.
Internal Family Systems Therapy
All of us have an internal system (family) of parts that make up our core selves. Often through the course of life we become alienated from our parts and our core selves, especially if we’ve experienced significant stress or traumatic experiences.
IFS therapy allows us to meet our parts, learn about them, address their unmet needs, and develop a strong sense of internal security with ourselves. This approach is especially useful when working to overcome the internal conflicts caused by overwhelming past events that create so much stress and confusion in our day to day lives.
Attachment-based therapy:
Our experiences and relationships with our parents/primary caregivers early in life shape the way we understand ourselves and others. If our emotional and physical needs are not met in a responsive and secure way when we’re young, we often experience relationship challenges and self-alienation later in life.
Attachment based therapy supports clients to understand their unmet attachment needs, understand their attachment style, and learn how to express emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that were not safe to express growing up, leading to an increased sense of security and healthy relationships.
