I have 15 years of experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships. I believe everyone already has the wisdom inside to heal but sometimes layers of trauma or pain can make it difficult to do so without support, and often causes symptoms such as anxiety and depression. I work with you to process traumas that can block the feeling of safety, content and happiness inside. I am trained in EMDR (an evidence based trauma therapy tool) that is used to process and heal traumas so that the system can rest and no longer has to fight to protect against the pain, fear, and nervous system dysregulation.
We will work together to identify which traumas, or life experiences, such as childhood trauma, sexual abuse, relationship experiences and many other possible causes are contributing to current symptoms you are having. We will use EMDR as well as somatic therapy and will work with your nervous system to heal. Many people often come to me after being in talk therapy for years, which they greatly benefitted from, but also are still struggling with symptoms and want to do some deeper work with the nervous system.
I also support struggles with fertility using EMDR to address and process the underlying negative beliefs, traumas and sometimes past infertility experiences that can interfere with future treatments or cause ongoing depression, anxiety, or grief.
I am here to help support you through this process of healing by creating a safe warm relationship so you feel comfortable in therapy and feel safe enough to heal. I use the combination of a holistic/ mindfulness approach encompassing the mind/body/spirit and also an evidence based- scientific approach to healing in order to get the best results possible.
