About
Come, as you are.
Every person comes with their own personal experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With each person, there are parts of themselves that has brought them to where they are today. I believe that it is the whole, biopsychosocial, component of the individual that deserves attention, love, compassion, worthiness, and grace.
Are you experiencing distress related to perpetual changes associated with the pandemic, find yourself worrying uncontrollably about life's circumstances, or struggling with identity, independence, and the pressures to perform for others?
Are you an individual who has been holding onto emotional disturbances for years, and are wanting to better understand the parts of your past that continue to impact your life today?
Are you at a time in your life when you are reflecting and reminiscing about the journey you have lived?
There is so much to manage every day, and I invite you to come and talk with me about your journey. Through talk therapy and trauma-focused therapy through EMDR, I am here to support you, empathize with you, challenge you, and walk with you through the journey of confronting the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that have impacted your life.
I am here to assist you in developing an understanding about the challenges you have experienced in important areas of your life, and to develop coping skills to manage them. Know that whatever your age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, spiritual/religious beliefs, etc, you are welcomed to come, as you are.
