Are you tired of feeling alone and unsupported in your struggles with past trauma and difficult relationships? I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who have experienced difficult childhoods, trauma, and toxic relationships. We can address these issues through the therapeutic process and equip you with the skills needed to navigate adulthood, parenting, and relationships. It's never too late to make changes and create the life you have always wanted. Let's embark on this journey of healing and growth together.
My therapy sessions are tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship with my clients, where we work together to explore underlying issues and develop effective strategies for positive change. Taking the first step towards self-care and personal growth can be daunting, but it is integral to building a healthier and more fulfilling life. I am enthusiastic about providing the necessary tools and support for you to create lasting change and finally prioritize yourself, rather than constantly putting others first.
I am particularly passionate about helping those who have experienced trauma, difficult childhoods, and toxic relationships. The aftermath of trauma and attachment issues can be incredibly overwhelming and isolating. I will provide a safe and supportive space for you to discuss and process your experiences. Feeling heard, understood, and supported as you navigate these challenging times is vital.
Through a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, I provide guidance and support as my clients embark on their healing journey. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, complex family dynamics, or toxic relationships, I am here to help you navigate and overcome these challenges. My specialties include, but are not limited to: - Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Toxic family systems - Relationship issues - Parenting issues

EMDR therapy stands out from other treatments by targeting the memory itself rather than the emotions or thoughts associated with traumatic experiences. By working to change the way the memory is stored in the brain, EMDR aims to ultimately reduce or eliminate the distressing symptoms caused by these memories. This unique approach allows individuals to process and move past their trauma more directly and effectively.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach derived from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) but includes additional strategies and techniques. The primary focus of DBT is to help individuals learn how to effectively navigate their emotions, improve their relationships, and cope with stress in healthy ways. By emphasizing mindfulness and living in the present moment, DBT helps individuals develop valuable skills for regulating emotions and reacting more thoughtfully in difficult situations. Ultimately, DBT aims to empower individuals to lead more fulfilling lives by fostering greater emotional resilience and interpersonal effectiveness.
