SPECIALIZING IN SOMATIC EXPERIENCING, EMDR, and IFS-INFORMED APPROACH
in SF Bay Area, throughout California, & online.
You’ve done the work, but something still feels off.
You want to appear calm and “having it together” on the outside, but deep down you are struggling to feel confident in coping with overwhelm, overthinking, and challenging life experiences.
You’ve done the work. But you still find yourself back in the problems you thought you’d already healed. You’re feeling the disconnection with yourself and those close to you. You feel like you’ve failed.
You tell yourself:
how you should act, how you should be, and how things should be different, yet you feel the pain.
Life has gotten harder to cope with. Maybe you lost a loved one or a big change has happened. Perhaps the I-got-to-keep-going isn’t working anymore.
You are feeling like you can’t hold it any longer. You are exhausted trying to figure this out alone.
But you’re ready to make a change. You are ready to feel relief. You are ready to learn the tools to get you through the struggle. You are ready for the healing to last, and to feeling like yourself again.
