Therapy style
From my advanced training working with trauma and PTSD, I have learned that working with the subconscious fears that live in the body is imperative for healing. I believe that underneath all of our challenges is fear. Oftentimes, these fears are unconscious, yet they continue to rule our lives. I've seen time and time again how much these fears can hold people back from living fulfilling, authentic lives, where they are finally doing what they want to do and saying what they really want to say.
I have trained in a variety of somatic (body-based) approaches such as EMDR that can help you uncover the root of your difficulties so you can finally move forward with confidence.
