My name is Jewels and I am the owner of Healing River Therapy, LLC. My specialty is supporting adults who grew up within unhealthy families. This can take many different forms and look like many different things. It can have long lasting effects on our brains, bodies and nervous systems. It can potentially create anxiety, self-doubt, people pleasing tendencies, difficulty trusting others, relationship challenges, emotion dysregulation, difficulty using your voice to stand up for yourself or challenges setting healthy boundaries with others. I have been trained in attachment-based trauma and parental narcissistic abuse. View 4 Photos I offer education regarding the impact of trauma on our brains and bodies as children and adults. I help to calm anxiety and regulate the nervous system. I utilize Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and Internal Family Systems as treatment modalities. Reconnecting to your inner world and sense of self can be very effective on your path of healing. I am a warm and nurturing therapist and provide a safe space to heal the inner child. To ALL people seeking therapy no matter your age or what you are going through, please know this: Everyone deserves to have a voice and your voice is important. Your feelings matter and you are not alone.
