You are your story, and you are more. You are strong, brave, courageous. We humans are angry, sad, confused, lonely, ashamed- can these be turned to good? We are deeply discouraged, seek forgiveness, or require a mirror to understand our need. We fear, we desire. In our noisy stimulating world we long for silence in our soul, to listen, so that we might know what we are called to do.
I offer support using CBT, DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT, family therapy, art, movement and play therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, acceptance commitment therapy, attachment work. Spiritually based, bilingual, specializations in depression and mood disorders, anxiety and phobias, trauma, eating, grief and loss, end of life. Trained at U of Chicago and ND
I welcome all ages, especially children, teens and families, all genders, abilities, backgrounds, and beliefs. There is a space in us where storms are calm and we can rest. It would be gift to find ways to replenish your energy, strengthen your faith, find hope- I hope to help.
