“Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending—to rise strong, recognize our story, and rumble with the truth until we get to a place where we think, ‘Yes. This is what happened. And I will choose how the story ends.’” – Brené Brown What would you do if you were not afraid? My mission in life is to live in a way that is healthy and full. A life filled with an abundance of empathy, passion, and courage. I, myself, am a survivor of narcissistic abuse and control. I have a heart of compassion for all, especially those that have struggled with past abuse or trauma, whether it be from childhood or adulthood. I have lived it and I understand it. I will sit with you, empathize with you, and help you heal. I've been a therapist for over 9 years. I have worked with LGBTQ/straight, young/old, and the severely emotionally disturbed. I have helped teen/adult survivors of childhood sexual assault and domestic & narcissistic abuse. I would love to help you live a life of courage, abundance, and strength. I utilize both hypnotherapy and EMDR when working with survivors of abuse and other traumatic life events. People often emerge from these sessions feeling free of their inner judgement, shame, guilt, anger, grief, abandonment. loneliness, and anxiety. I have personally experienced this transformation myself. It is powerful and awe-inspiring. My practice is a comfortable, inviting, and safe space found in a home based setting. I use a trauma-informed/client-centered approach with a mix of validation, empowerment, empathy, intuition, and a little bit of humor 🙂 Nothing is more important to your success in therapy than the relationship between client and therapist. I love to learn and continually work to increase my knowledge through reading, videos, and conferences. I am passionate about what I do and love helping others find the strength and the tools to build a more successful life.
