I provide a warm, safe and affirming space for you to heal from your past, value yourself deeply and create satisfying relationships.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re struggling all the time? If so, read on… Do you wish your relationships were different—that you could stand up for yourself more or, even better, that you could surround yourself with people who are understanding and validating so you wouldn’t have to fight to maintain your boundaries? Do you want to feel good about yourself, switching out the feeling of being broken or of shame and guilt for a solid sense of self worth? Do you find yourself suddenly gripped by intense feelings of anxiety or anger and long for a sense of control over your feelings and your life? Are you ready for a change? I’ll provide a safe, warm and affirming space for you on your healing journey. Together we can explore the difficult life experiences that made things so hard for you. And we can use Brainspotting and Image Transformation Therapy to heal and free you so you can have the life and relationships you desire. You deserve to feel confident and at ease. I bring a lot of empathy because I’ve done a lot of this healing work myself. . If you’d like to see if we’d be a good fit, I’d love to talk with you. Text, call or email me to schedule your free consultation today.
