Are you suffering from anxiety, depression and/or trauma? I believe we all have the innate ability to heal. Our bodies and minds are drawn towards wholeness and health. However, painful experiences can constrict us, blocking these natural processes and obscuring our view of our true nature, like clouds obscuring a clear, spacious sky. Together, we will clear the blockages that have kept you stuck and gotten in the way of realizing your full potential. Let's begin the process of you coming home to yourself.

Often times, life's waves produce times of emotional hardship marked by deep seated feelings of grief, sadness, confusion, depression, worry, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to have the space, support, and safety to address the waves inherent in everyday life without judgment. If you are experiencing a life transition, a break-up, day-to-day parenting and relationship stress, or you are simply being haunted by past events or thoughts that don't seem to budge, therapy can provide an outlet to gain the insight, awareness, and relief you may be seeking.

Our in person group focuses on helping children ages 7-12 gain coping strategies by building their own "Coping Toolbox." Each week your child will create a new "tool" to add to their Toolbox. At the end of the 6 weeks, your child will have their very own "Toolbox" they can take home and new tools they can utilize when feeling overwhelmed. The last ten minutes of each group session will include check-ins with supporting adults to review the tools created that week and how to utilize it to support your child.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety - whether it’s from external demands or internal struggles. Maybe it's social anxiety, "a life transition," or healing from trauma. Or maybe it's something more general, like you want to feel more "in control" of your emotions…and your life. I can help. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your challenges, empowering you to move forward - with skill and confidence. I use “treatments that work” (CBT, DBT, mindfulness, etc). But we’ll find what works for YOU. Lastly, I don’t just want you to just “feel better.” I want you to live your best life. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

All of our actions serve a purpose at some point. However, our goals/priorities change and sometimes our once-useful behaviors become ineffective or even harmful. I often describe dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as “common sense therapy.” Using familiar concepts, DBT helps people recognize when their behaviors are no longer serving them and teaches skills to more effectively meet their needs/goals.
