You can do this! You can face this! You have the tools! And, I'm here to help carry this burden for a time while assisting you to identify and grow your tools and skills to become stronger, wiser, and more capable to pursue that which is good and true in life. Yes, depression, anxiety, trauma, and numerous other internal and external barriers can seem overwhelming when trying to navigate daily life alone-- so, let's do this together then!
As a positive, motivational, and solution focused therapist, I work to first meet your immediate needs by clarifying critical issues and sorting out troublesome life perceptions. I will teach you about healthy coping skills that are so often already within you, enhancing them through dynamic holistic approaches. After, we can get to the roots of the issues!
At times, disruptive or traumatic experiences arise in our lives that we need to navigate in order to be able to move forward more effectively. I will help you navigate these with narrative therapy styles that integrate trauma informed mindfulness skills. I will cater my approach to you, while integrating expressive modalities to help you work through these.
