From the outside, you seem tough, resilient, like you can manage or make it through anything. But in private, you feel consumed by anxiety, depression or memories of the past. You can not sleep, you feel little to no motivation for the daily routines of life, and sometimes you get so overwhelmed by life's expectations that you have started to avoid the people, places and activities that used to make you happy! You want change, to smile, and feel like yourself again. But what if you are really, really nervous about starting, about opening up to a stranger? I say, I get it. I've been there!
I specialize in person-centered, trauma-focused therapy utilizing various therapy approaches including brain-spotting to help clients process and heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, difficulties with adjustment and relationships/attachment issues. There is no one-size-fits-all approach and I welcome you just as you are.
Starting therapy for the first time can be a little scary, and can be really scary if you have tried before and had bad therapy experiences. My hope is to support you, encourage you, and empower you so that your future is bright and filled with hope. Send me a text or an email to request services today.

Our first session is devoted to gathering historical and current information about what you are struggling with, and what steps have been taken so far. At our next appointment we collaborate on a game-plan for treatment. Subsequent sessions are devoted to discovery, inquiry, symptom reduction, and problem-solving until you feel you can reduce or cease therapy to continue the work on your own.
