About
I help people who have developed addictive or other self-sabotaging thinking patterns/behaviors through combining CBT, MI, EMDR, and talk therapy. Do you feel that something is holding you back in life? Does it feel as if something is missing but you’re not sure what it is, or if that’s even true? Does it look like you have a great life on the outside, but you still feel empty or unfulfilled on the inside? This is a familiar feeling for people who have become disconnected from their authentic self. When most people think of childhood trauma, physical, mental, or sexual abuse (also known as big T traumas) comes to mind. These are things that have happened that never should have. Although this is accurate, I have found that more people have experienced significant childhood trauma from emotional neglect (often referred to as little t traumas) because what was needed, such as validation and love, was never received. The absence of feeling seen, heard, valued, and important leaves room for a heavy emptiness inside of a person; this is where self-love and a healthy self-esteem are supposed to be. Many times, when someone experiences childhood trauma, it leads to an abundance of other problems such as addiction, codependency, toxic relationships, and emotional dysregulation. Because of my personal journey, I deeply understand the destruction of complex trauma, and I have overcome its negative effects. In 2005, I started a journey of healing, and by 2008 I knew that I wanted to help people with similar life experiences. Although the healing process was far from over, I had already experienced feeling so much “lighter” because the empty heaviness was being released as self-love filled the void. I have created a life of passion and purpose, and I truly do not know anyone who loves their life more than I love mine. I feel this is the purest form of success. My own healing has allowed me to be present with clients while they experience these ‘aha’ moments.
