My Approach to Helping

My name is Jewels and I am the owner of Healing River Therapy. I specialize in supporting adults who grew up in difficult relationships with their parents. This includes narcissistic parents, emotionally immature parents, experiencing the “Mother Wound,” emotional neglect, boundary violations, manipulation and control, scapegoating a child from the family and so much more. Growing up in a dysfunctional family can impact our brain and body, affect our relationships and influence the way we see ourselves and view the world. I have been trained in attachment trauma and treating adults who grew up within unhealthy parent dynamics.
In our work together, you will feel heard, seen and validated. I teach how trauma impacts us and what reasonable boundaries are. I provide mindful, grounding techniques and anxiety reducing skills. I utilize Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy. I will guide you to connect to all of your amazing parts of Self.
I am a warm and nurturing therapist and provide a compassionate, safe space to heal the wounded inner child. To ALL people seeking therapy no matter what you are struggling with please know this: Everyone deserves to have a voice and your voice is important. Your feelings matter and you are not alone :)

I have recently completed a three-month certificate training program, "Treating Adults of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Reclaim Their Lives from the Toxic Legacy of Controlling, Rejecting or Self-Involved Parents," with Dr. Lindsay Gibson.
