About

Maybe you could tell me exactly why you feel the way you do. You can connect your emotions to your past trauma or point at various experiences that got you to this point, but then you're stuck with what to DO with it all. You can understand your emotions, but maybe you don't know how to tolerate them. When strong emotions arise, you try to think away your feelings—I am here to help you learn to build a tolerance for emotions and break free of constantly analyzing yourself. You are allowed to not have everything figured out or together. Maybe you weren't taught how to value your emotions. I use emotion focused therapy to help clients reconnect with how they feel, and use that to lead meaningful lives. I also offer EMDR therapy, which can be helpful to treat trauma—especially complex PTSD or attachment traumas that standard talk therapy is not always effective enough to treat.
