Journey to An Evolved You
Are you struggling with your relationships?
Do past traumas still haunt you, affecting interpersonal dynamics with family, friends, and colleagues?
Childhood trauma can sometimes feel like a monster best kept hidden away in the dark. Out of sight, out of mind - until it is triggered again. As Carl Jung said, "what you resist not only persists, but will grow in size."
Through this lens, I offer a compassionate and integrative approach to healing the deep wounds of relational trauma.
Collaboratively, as a therapeutic team, we cultivate and create a safe space for acknowledging and nourishing the inner child, establishing self-worth, building self-esteem and developing skills for managing complex relationships with self and other.
As a licensed therapist, I specialize in depression, anxiety, and relational trauma. Through my integrative approach, I will assist you in discovering your own path to inner peace and forging healthier relationships.
My integrative approach combines:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT); Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); Internal Family Systems (IFS); Attachment-Based Trauma Therapy.
Healing begins with establishing a safe space and a relationship grounded in trust and collaboration. This allows for:
- Compassionate attachment repair
- Tending to soul wounds
- Re-establishing Self with attention to inner child
- Coping skills that emphasize mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, acceptance and change
- Emphasis on self-discovery self-acceptance
If you're ready to embark on a journey to an evolved you, I'm here to support, guide and collaborate. Together, we'll develop the skills and insights needed for lasting positive change and a life worth living.
