It also allowed me to strengthen my clinical skills in assisting my patients with life challenges, trauma, deep emotional problems, grief and loss.
I combine an integrative model with a holistic view of the person to aid in healing and transformation. Integrative Psychotherapy uses insight-oriented modalities in conjunction with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnosis, Mindfulness, Biofeedback, Guided Imagery, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), EMDR for trauma processing, and dream analysis using Jungian approach. All of these techniques facilitate unique experiences and allow me to tailor therapy sessions for each individual patient.

Mail-in DNA kits (23andMe, ancestry, etc) are supposed to be fun, but more and more people are getting results they don't recognize. This experience can cause an identity crisis and existential exploration that few others understand. Eve Sturges, LMFT, brings people from the NPE (non-parental event) community together to gain support and insight from each other. People who experience surprise DNA-discoveries can feel isolated, but they are not alone!

I am not a typical therapist. I see myself as a co-author, witness, helpful ally, teammate, collaborator and useful resource. Rather than taking a role as an “expert” by making assumptions or interpretations about your life, I love to use skillful conversation and artful question-asking to help you get past obstacles and problems. You are here on this page because you have strength in you, you have desire in you and you have healing in you. You are the main character in your own life. Therapy can either help or hinder the development of this character as someone powerful, capable and whole.

It's important to talk about your loved one, honor your emotions and recognize the various stages of mourning. With loss also comes changes in self-identity and the role a person plays in life. This group is a safe space where you can share your story without judgment, and find comfort and understanding among others who are going through a similar experience. This group will assist you in exploring your thoughts on identity changes and also have a safe space to explore your unresolved feelings.

Our life experiences can lead us to question our identity and purpose in the world we live in. This can lead us to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Do you want to improve how you face challenges, function in your relationships, and face overwhelming feelings? I place heavy importance on addressing trauma. Trauma disintegrates the parts that make up your whole self, which can leave aspects of who you are hidden from your awareness. Left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can worsen, which can rob you of the necessary connection that all human beings need to thrive. I aim to help you process unresolved trauma.
Loss is a painful part of the human experience. You may feel the impact in various ways: difficulty healing; feeling isolated; or feeling stuck and unable to move on. You may also have difficulty engaging with or finding comfort in your spiritual beliefs. This therapy group is a place for you to share your experiences of loss, spiritual struggles, and questions about the meaning or purpose of life after loss.
