Maya Angelou said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Your story is important. Perhaps in this chapter you're encountering low self-esteem, looking to heal from past trauma, struggling with self-esteem, or needing a place to ventilate the sometimes overwhelming stressors from week to week. I can help with that. I'll meet you where you're at and help you build a sense of agency for the change you'd like to author in your life. Together we can discover what works and what doesn't, and we'll explore effective thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I utilize a behavioral approach via DBT to help build coping skills and I offer EMDR to address trauma. Depending on your preference, I can provide homework, reading recommendations, and guided meditation practice. Above all, I hold a warm, safe space where you can unpack with a trusted and experienced professional. Don't hesitate to reach out. You are worthy of care, concern and assistance, and you don't have to go it alone. Let's work together to identify your needs/wants/personal values, build coping strategies and reclaim a sense of agency and authorship in your life.
