Healing unfolds when you begin to truly connect with yourself and with others. I am here to facilitate this process by first connecting with you and developing a relationship filled with trust and respect. We all have parts of us - emotions, thoughts, memories - that we push away. This often leads to problems including emotional and physical discomfort. Our work together is to safely and gently find and give a voice to the parts of you that you have silenced and to release the emotions you've been carrying. In doing so, you will be freer, happier, and more present. My approach to trauma is individualized. I have been trained in EFT/Tapping for Trauma, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Trauma in Schools. My approach to adolescents is simple. Be real. Adolescents have an amazing ability to see through people and therapists in particular! A little more information about EFT/Tapping. It is a stress and trauma somatic release method that is simple to learn, child-friendly and recognized by the American Psychological Association as an effective treatment for stress and trauma. It is also highly effective for various other emotional and physical issues.
