Time Heals All Wounds?

Once, someone told you, “Time heals all wounds.” But you’re still waiting. Waiting to be free from unwanted thoughts, feelings, and memories that undermine your happiness. Waiting to feel less anxious, sad, ashamed, and more self-assured, confident, lighthearted, and purposeful. Waiting to get unstuck.

Mostly OK

Your life is mostly on track, but you’re convinced there’s something wrong with you. You wake up each morning hoping it will be different – the way you think and feel about yourself. You are generally successful in work and school, but you’re plagued with feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Your good-looking and intelligent, but you keep picking the wrong partners and getting hurt. And then, there’s that familiar pain – the harsh words, the wounding moment – that replays endlessly in your heart and mind like a rerun of a bad movie with the inevitable sad ending.

Echoes of the Past

“That happened so long ago,” you shame yourself. “So why does it still hurt so much?” But no answers come, just the echo of that familiar pain you carry deep inside that feels like a scar on your soul. You know you can’t outrun what’s inside you, but you’re not sure what to do. You’re longing to be free, to love yourself and be loved, to create the life you really want.

Things Can Change

My name is Emelly Rosspencer, LMFT, and I specialize in helping people get unstuck, unblocked, and unchained from unwanted thoughts, feelings, and memories created by painful past experiences. I use a combination of trauma-focused approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and EMDR, to help clients reach their full potential. In our work together, I will help you understand the “Whys” in your life that have been evading you, and more importantly what you can do about it. Together, we’ll jump into the confusion of your inner world, look for context and connections, reorient you to your thoughts, feelings, and memories, and support you in finding new ways of being in the world.

In sessions, my approach is gentle, yet powerful and purposeful. I support you by helping you notice what’s special inside of you, giving you specific and honest feedback, looking for ways to challenge and stretch you, and celebrating your victories no matter how small. I’m also flexible and will shift gears as needed to find just the right combination of supports and resources for you. To me, no person is fully formed. We are all a work in progress, alive with possibilities! I want to help you notice and live out your own potential no matter how your past might have previously defined you.
