About

I've been a clinical therapist for the past twenty years. The greatest challenge facing clients today is building healthy relationships. If your are feeling isolated, disconnected, or alone, it's time to ascertain what is missing in your relationships. The first step is identifying the protector parts or defense mechanisms that prevent you from facing conflicts, sharing your thoughts and feelings, or keeping a distance because it feels too dangerous to get close. This process helps you develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills which lower anxieties. Another step of healing your childhood attachment is identifying the wounded parts that are frozen in the past. By bringing them to conscicousness through EMDR (Eye Movement Desenzitation and Reprocessing), these wounded parts can unburden from the past and release painful memories, feelings, sensations, and distorted beliefs such as "I am unloveable.
