I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have suffered a trauma, are depressed or coping with anxiety, life changes or family issues.
One of the most important aspects of treatment is the opportunity to be heard and to hear oneself, clearly, quietly away from the tumult of the life circumstances that can overwhelm and distract. Often circumstances in our lives inhibit our ability to do this. My focus will be to help you understand why you are feeling the way you do and how to move forward to attain the life you want. This happens when you are able to revisit and understand your past, clearly see your present and create goals for the life you want.

I have had a good deal of experience with children and adolescents; I have done a lot of family work.
I strive to provide a safe and confidential space in which my clients can explore habitual beliefs and behaviors that have been causing personal distress and/or relational problems. I attempt to help them find ways of re-directing their energy towards more effective and satisfying ways of being and interacting. The goal of therapy as I see it for people to develop an understanding of themselves, both alone and in the world, which will enable them to act reasonably and confidently in a way that honors their goals and personal values.

I treat individuals, couples and families with the perspective of the whole system. Each person has learned beliefs and ideologies from their family of origin and bring those with them when they enter a new relationship. Helping uncover how those beliefs affect their lives is often key to the underpinnings of their problems and being able to decide what works for them is critical to being able to create a strong foundation in their relationships.

I have experience working with Victims of Abuse, Couples Issues, Children, Teens, and their Family Members.
There are things in life that prevent us from moving forward, some of these things include anger, bitterness, thinking patterns or habits that keep us from change, unresolved pain, and feelings of hopelessness and fear. We often want to let go of these, but struggle to know how, or where to begin. If you are tired of feeling stuck, and desire growth and change, consider reaching out. Working with a counselor does not have to be a last-minute resort. I am here to facilitate your understanding of self and others. It takes courage to change and heal. Transformation happens from within, and I would love to aid you with that process.

I take a holistic approach to healing, focusing on Psychotherapy, Art Therapy and customized nutritional choices. In my 17 years of experience working with different types of children, couples and individuals diagnosed with mental illnesses, and severe trauma or just needing to speak about what they go through in their daily life, I realized that holistic treatments are often ignored. I believe that every part of us is connected and how we think, what we eat, our habits, patterns, family history all play a role in our mental health.

Discussing the challenges you've been through is a vulnerable place, but also one that can be full of growth and clarity. I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with some of life's big transitions. I utilize an integrative approach to create a safe, trauma informed space to build regulation skills, communication skills, and process trauma. I have a background in working with adult survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, college students, and children in foster care birth to 21. Trauma and transitions are each taxing in their own profound ways, but each can lead to change. I'm here to hold that space with you.

My name is Soren and I work with children and adults of all ages to help people grow in whatever directions feel the most authentic to them. If you are feeling misunderstood, lost, trapped, or alone, my practice is a safe space for you. Many times we hide our deepest truths from others and even from ourselves in order to keep moving forward and not make a fuss or ignite difficult emotions. However, this denies us the chance for a more full and connected life. Life is hard, beautiful, and confusing. In my work we learn to hold space for all of these truths and explore them honestly.
