Therapy can provide the environment to fully explore your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, free of judgment. I am here to support you and facilitate the process.
My goal is to help you cultivate awareness and understanding of how you got to this point and what may contribute to you feeling stuck. With this newfound awareness, you may decide to make different choices and do things differently. Or, you may find that there are unseen benefits or necessities to this current way of being, in which case, we can start to gently move towards self-compassion.
I am also interested in how past trauma may be impacting your current experience. Traumatic experiences and memories can get stuck in your brain and body and make it difficult to move forward, while often causing both physical and emotional symptoms. Using a trauma processing technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) we can attempt to move the trauma through the proper channels so it can be integrated and the symptoms can be alleviated.
