Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
I work with women who struggle with blended high/low self esteem. To the outside world, we are successful and have our shit together. Except we are masters at hiding pain. Inside, we have a black hole filled with guilt, shame, and feeling unworthy. We feel stress managing family, life, career, relationships, and don't feel good enough. We carry trauma in our bodies and it shows up in our daily life. From a young age, we learned self betrayal was pivotal to be worthy of love and to feel good enough. We didn't have a voice. My focus is repairing the damage due to past experiences and how it’s created a critical view to our own self. With 17 years in the field, I'm specialized in improving self esteem, managing stress, feeling emotions, processing trauma; complex and PTSD. My approach is highly tailored to each client. Swearing is allowed! I utilize talk therapy, EMDR, somatic work, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also offer walk and talk sessions in nature, spring-fall. By the time we get to the point of realizing, "I can't live like this anymore," we are overwhelmed, depleted and still pushing forward. Add in desperately seeking a therapist, it's exhausting. The hidden pain deserves a space to be heard. I'm here to help. My goal is to help you step into a life that is self-designed.
