Professional statement

Jocelyn is here to assist those who may be uncertain about the kind of help they require. If you have experienced therapy previously and continue to grapple with feelings of anxiety or sadness despite its benefits, know that you are not alone in this experience. The persistent emotions you're facing indicate that your body is diligently endeavoring to safeguard you. There's no inherent flaw within you. Rather, these emotions can signal that certain past experiences are too immense to be resolved through mere conversation. Rest assured, Jocelyn can offer guidance. Collaboratively, you and Jocelyn will delve into the factors that are entrenching you in detrimental cycles and causing apprehension about the future. Progress necessitates the holistic healing of both your mind and body to break free from stagnation.

Jocelyn's therapeutic approach is underpinned by a fundamental belief: every individual's actions are driven by reasons. Many of us are reliant on survival mechanisms rooted in the concealment of distressing memories from our pasts. Through the employment of EMDR therapy, she facilitates the mending of wounds originating from racial, generational, relational, and attachment sources. Such wounds, which might otherwise take years of traditional talk therapy to navigate, can be addressed effectively through this modality.


Message to clients

Do you feel you should get help but are unsure of what you need? Have you gone to therapy before and found that, though it was helpful, you're still struggling with anxiety or sadness? There is nothing wrong with you. The feelings you can’t seem to shake are a sign that your body is working very hard to keep you safe. Some things from our past are just too big to talk our way out of. I can help. Together, we will work to uncover what's keeping you stuck in unhealthy patterns and anxious about your future. We must heal the body and mind to move forward and get unstuck.

My approach to therapy begins with this understanding - we all do what we do for a reason. Many of us only have our survival skills to rely on because we were taught to keep our painful past a secret. I use EMDR therapy to help clients heal racial, generational, relationship, and attachment wounds that could take years of talk therapy to process and heal.

The decision to start therapy is a powerful one that can be difficult to make. However, it can be the beginning of new possibilities and the end of trauma that has been normalized or even passed down through your family. Healing is hard, but suffering is harder. Choose your hard. Got Questions? Call me to book a free 15 min consultation.
