About

You feel everything very deeply and wonder if others experience life in a similar way. You are emotionally depleted and give so much to others that there is nothing left for yourself. No one truly sees you. You’re convinced there must be something wrong with you. These feelings have always been there but they have become harder to tolerate and they are affecting your work and relationships. These wounds often trace back to difficult experiences in childhood. Sometimes the wounds can be from subtle fractures in your upbringing. Sometimes they are from physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, or neglect. I can help. I will guide you in uncovering your inner strengths by providing a safe space to engage in meaningful conversations about your emotional life. I utilize EMDR, which is a powerful tool that can enhance your ability to heal childhood trauma. By working together, I can help you make room for a future not run by overwhelming pain.
