Hello,
My name is Bridgette
and I’m dedicated to helping adults who grew up in unstable families release trauma and build healthier, more authentic relationships using Attachment Focused EMDR (for trauma), Internal Family System (wholeness), and Nonviolent / Compassionate Communication (connection). As a Center for Nonviolent Communication Certification Candidate, I’ve happily spent over 13 years integrating and teaching communication and self care classes to clients, groups, and organizations.
The pain of my childhood set me on the path of healing at an early age and even now, in my mid 40’s, continues to inspire me to be there for others. Everything I offer, I have tried out on myself and I wish I knew earlier. For a long time I hated myself and other humans. Over the years, getting the support needed to let go of old traumas and the beliefs based on them, I could be in the present and see more clearly. Big surprise… turns out, reality is way fucking better than the world I saw through my trauma lenses. Want to take off your glasses too?
You don’t have to do this alone!
My Approach
You Make Sense
We may not understand yet, but there are good reasons you do, think, and feel the ways you do.
We Go At Your Pace
Trusting the wisdom of your timing and rhythms, your yeses and nos helps to create the safety needed for deep and lasting healing.
Warmth and Humor
Even our darkest places- our despair, our self hatred, our longing to die- love to be met with compassion and laughter. Play is magic!
