Some of the modalities I use are Gestalt, IFS, EMDR, BodyTalk and EFT tapping.
Taking the initial step to go to therapy isn’t an easy one. You may be feeling hurt, unsafe, scared, exhausted, lonely, or even desperate. The list is endless. You finally gathered the courage to seek for help and really hope to find a welcoming therapist that will make you feel safe and accepted as you are. I make sure to create that kind of welcoming and non-judgmental environment for you, because if you feel truly safe then you can find the strength to look at and even face the difficult and traumatic events in your life.

Do you feel like you need direction, knowledge, or compassion to get you back on track? Do you feel like your relationships aren’t where you want them to be and you don’t know what else to try? Therapy is work, but changes that we want to make in our life come from small, focused efforts every day. It is an honor to be a part of the change process in people’s lives. I work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and general life stressors with couples, teens, and adults to empower them to lead a fulfilling life in whatever areas they desire to see change.

I believe there is a purpose in everything that we do and in everything that happens to us. “As soon as we are able to find meaning in suffering, then the suffering is over.” A big part of my approach is helping you find peace in the midst of the suffering. A lot of the time we cannot change our surroundings or the world around us but we can find peace in ourselves and change within. Healing is a personal journey that can be extremely painful. My main focus is walking with you as you feel what you need to feel and to find meaning to help you move forward.

Anxiety is a common issue that can affect anyone at any time. Life transitions, such as the birth of a child, starting college, the loss of a loved one, or starting a new job, can be difficult to navigate. Stress is a natural response to the demands of life, but it can become overwhelming if left unmanaged. Grief is a natural response to loss and can be a difficult emotion to process. I want you to know that I see you and I am here to help you gain the skills necessary to help you on your healing journey.

Since childhood, I have strived to be a good child. At home, school, and church, I sought the recognition and praise of others. Lacking the courage to be free from the judgment and opinions of others, I always evaluated myself through their eyes. This led me to feel perpetually inadequate and insufficient. With others at the center of my life instead of myself, I naturally felt a sense of depression and emptiness and did not feel excited or eager to start each new day. From a young age I felt very little attachment to life due to feeling like something was so wrong with me and that I deserved to feel this way

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
