Trauma Therapy for Adult Survivors

Are you losing interest in activities you once enjoyed?

Are you avoiding social situations and staying at home more often?

Is it difficult to complete tasks or going about your daily activities?

You do not have to be alone. I can help you live more intentionally & fiercely toward the kind of life You want. You can learn tools & practices to help regulate your emotions, be in the moment with greater acceptance, and shift your thinking and feelings so you can live with greater joy, effectiveness, and freedom.

Through IFS and IFS-Informed EMDR, you can develop greater Self-Energy—calmness, curiosity, compassion, connectedness, courage, creativity, clarity, and confidence. Self-energy and Self-Presence can heal burdened or protective parts that are oriented in the past and shaped by traumatic experiences.

Through self-compassion, inner knowing, and neuroscience, I can help you create a more coherent internal system wherein memory reconsolidation can occur. I hope you can respond to life with greater flexibility and inner harmony because you belong to You.

IFS and EMDR are two separate trauma-focused protocols; however, when used together, their impact can be uplifting, freeing and life-changing.

I cannot wait to work with you. Book your free initial consultation today!
