I have experience working with clients who are struggling with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as relationship issues surrounded by low self worth, shame and resentments. I have learned that there are many factors that contribute to someone feeling overwhelmed and may prevent us from reaching our goals that may also include poor coping skills, communication issues, grief or loss, and addiction issues. My goal will be to help you learn how to regulate emotions, identify unhealthy mindsets and/or memories that have kept you feeling trapped, and learn skills so you can find restoration in your life.
At Restoring Light Counseling, I use different approaches to help clients reach their personal goals and to reduce unwanted and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I primarily use skills taught in cognitive-behavioral based theories, as well as motivational interviewing. Additionally, I am EMDR trained so I can help you face past trauma.
Taking this first step in seeking help takes courage and finding the right counselor can be difficult. I am available to answer questions via email or phone so you can be sure we can work together. Please reach out and lets begin this journey towards healing and restoration together.
