Life is much easier when we learn that we can improve or even control our reaction to most difficulties facing us. Learn to change "reaction" to "response," indicating a thoughtful, healthful method of reply. The ideal client will begin therapy with an open mind, a need for change, and a willingness to participate in his/her own growth process. Once you get curious about yourself, we can go places!

Life can be hard, difficult, overwhelming, frustrating, and sometimes unbearable. You face so many challenges and disappointments – some which can’t even be shared with close friends and family. You go on like nothing is wrong, but it doesn’t stop the thoughts or emotions from hitting you at the most random times. Wishing and hoping it will go away hasn’t really worked either. If you read that and thought, "this is me", Heart Matters Therapy can help.

Hello! This message isn't written by AI! This is ME, an experienced therapist who cares. Since covid our society has shifted into a high tech world, texts/Instagram/twitter has dominated. TALKING with one another? No way! The result? An epidemic OF loneliness, anxiety, depression, infidelity, & suicide. Drug use/meds (legal & not) has shot out the roof. Marital distress & divorce rates are alarming; suicide also. Social phobia is rampant among ALL ages. Rising cost of living and $ problems add to the distress. We can get overwhelmed/angry. Who we ARE & our core values can get lost without effective communication.

As someone who values exploring her own depths, I know what it's like to sit in "the other chair," as therapists call it. I know it takes courage and trust to be vulnerable, to show your inner world to another. And I know it's easier when the therapist honors your pace while gently encouraging you to explore the edges of your growth. Helping you find the right balance at those edges is what I do: whether you're seeking something new, you're stuck, or you're overwhelmed. All are opportunities for us to listen more deeply to what you are needing.

Watch video bio on my website! When someone comes into my office, they are seeking change. Maybe you’re stuck in an ongoing trauma response that you just can’t shake. Maybe those you love the most have hurt you or you’ve hurt them. Perhaps you know logically how you’d like to interact with healthy sexuality, but your reality is far from that. I get all of that. I work with clients for these reasons and more. I help clients not only become unstuck, but find their lost, true self so they can walk in freedom and renewed relationships.

It’s like your life has been split apart. There was the you from before this devastating loss –happy, hopeful, and enthusiastic for the future. And then there’s you now – confused, angry, and unspeakably sad. You had a plan for your life that gave you comfort and security, but all at once, it disappeared. It’s difficult to accept what’s happened, let alone begin to actually process it. You’re unsure where to go from here, and even worse, you don’t really care. It’s like an integral part of what made you yourself has been taken away, and you don’t know who you are now. You can’t see any way forward, and it feels hopeless.
