Unconditional personal acceptance, honesty, and if it’s a good fit: trust. This is the where therapy has power. And in a society increasingly isolated and detached, we are tragically under-resourced in our suffering. If you’ve found yourself ready to try and paint a different picture, I can help. We can be open minded with what that looks like, sometimes it resembles examining your thoughts, sometimes connecting with and learning from your emotions. Sometimes we need a safe, human connection to hear and to heal the burdens of our past and present. My first task is to learn what it is you need; it’s ok if that’s yours too. My specialty is honestly just being a person there with you, but as a Certified EMDR Therapist, we can use this approach to help your brain release the overwhelm of disturbing feelings and memories, empowering it to heal, and adapt to your dignity in the present moment.

Transformative therapy can be… a lot. Sometimes it needs to be. It’s ok to try and find out you’re not quite there yet, or that you need a different approach. If that journey includes my help, I look forward to standing with you as a clinical ally for healing and growth. I appreciate the opportunity.
