As an attachment-based therapist, I specialize in emotional pain & trauma.
Emotions like anxiety, sadness and shame are so overwhelming that it feels like your body could shatter from all of your feelings. A painful childhood, challenging relationships, loss or another distressing experience has left you feeling hopeless. You've never been able to explain what feeling abandoned is like, or why it's so hard to trust, so you feel more isolated in being misunderstood. You have some regrets on how you've responded or acted in the past while you were just trying to survive or feel connection.

I am also a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT) for working with betrayal trauma.
My clients may be struggling with a variety of issues commonly including sexually compulsive behavior, relational challenges, unresolved trauma, substance abuse, or codependency. Many of my clients have are engaged in a healing and recovery process from their struggles, but desire a deeper dive into their recovery and understanding of self. Their general goals are to overcome not only the symptoms that brought them to treatment but also what drives those symptoms. Clients seeing me are in need of a therapist who is specifically qualified for their needs & can be up-front and direct while also being compassionate and non-judgmental.

Ofaros is family-oriented, trauma-informed, and developmentally aligned in our approach to mental health.
I opened Ofaros because of a passion for helping people to see just how capable they really are. Life is full of hard roads and some of them can break, scar, or cripple us. Our experiences and situations can have enduring impacts on our peace and well-being. And for some, life may bring seasons of sadness, anger, or confusion with no clear cause and often without an easy way forward. My hope is that I can help you find your "brighter way forward" no matter what you've gone through or are currently experiencing. I've had to endure my own hard roads, and I want to walk beside you in yours. - Seth Powell, Owner & Counselor

Have you been nervous or reluctant to go to therapy? Not sure if you "need it?" If you have a desire to connect more deeply with yourself or others, then therapy might be for you (note: I believe we can all benefit from talking with someone). If you want to overcome past trauma(s), are struggling with addictions, have difficulty regulating emotions, have codependency issues, or have been involved with the criminal justice system (both as law enforcement or as an incarcerated person), this is where you can begin your journey of understanding, forgiving, and connecting with yourself and others in a more meaningful way.
