It is our intent to raise awareness about mental health issues. Why is it important (glad you asked)? Because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Let’s reduce the stigma related to mental illness. The more we talk about mental health conditions, the more normalized it becomes. Starting the conversation is the first step. Let’s talk!

I am accepting new clients that are looking for Intensive EMDR. Why choose intensive work? The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs.

Here’s the thing, you do not have to solve it, heal from it, get over it, get past it, or figure it out alone. Therapy offers you the space and support to approach and intentionally navigate your trauma, grief, past or present experiences, ways you have related to yourself, your relationships, and/or your environments that are just not serving you anymore. Your life should not be limited to living in familiar discomfort. You deserve genuine happiness and abundance in every area that you exist in. I can help you. It is time to start being intentional about your healing process, don't you think?

For those with Combat Stress or Trauma, traditional therapy models tend to fail because they are based on cognitive reframing, emotional intelligence and empathy...something that was conditioned out of you and never put back. Being asked to "think positively," "do your deep breathing," and "use your coping skills" rarely works if you are not taught the WHY. That's where psycho-education comes in. Humans have an intrinsic need to understand the purpose behind what we are doing for it to hold any meaning, let alone be implemented. Book with me by clicking on my website!
