Overview
We know that unresolved issues from the past create problems in the present. While our brains naturally process things in ways that move us towards greater well-being, overwhelming experiences can interfere with its ability to do that and cause you to feel stuck. Some people think “this is just how I am” and there’s nothing to do about it. But fortunately, the brain can change, and we can help it. Some therapies work deeper in the brain than traditional talk therapy and activate your brain’s own ability to heal, clear out what’s stuck and build new neural pathways in order to resolve the underlying issues and create lasting change.
I use attachment-focused, brain-based therapies, including EMDR, Flash Technique, DBR and “parts” work, to help clients address a variety of issues that can stem from unresolved past experiences. My areas of focus are trauma, anxiety, prolonged or traumatic grief, stress management and relationship patterns. I work with adults, generally ages 25 and older.
My style is warm, gentle and collaborative, and I strive to create a supportive environment where you can share your thoughts, feelings and history, explore your problems, patterns and goals and discover new ways of being in the world. We will work as a team to figure out what’s going to be most helpful for you. I look forward to discussing how I can help!
