Seeking recovery from past abuse or trauma is a brave and vulnerable endeavor.
I have been privileged to witness and guide the healing journeys of many women and families recovering from the effects of trauma, abuse, life stress, and grief and loss over the past several years. Intrusive thoughts about what happened, outsized reactions to normal life stress, relationship issues, and anxiety and depression are normal reactions to what happened to you then, but they may no longer serve you now. As a trained and experienced trauma counselor, I can help you heal without the blaming and shaming messages you might have heard in the past from well-meaning friends, family, clergy, or even counselors.

I utilize a variety of methods, including nutritional recommendations, trauma-focused mindful movement, expressive therapy, the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), EMDR, neurofeedback, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, an auditory treatment developed by Dr.
Typically, clients come to see me when their previous experiences with traditional "talk" therapy haven't helped to resolve their symptoms. Trauma and stress have an emotional, psychological and physical impact, but we often need to start treatment at the most basic level: calming the nervous system. I see clients who are experiencing chronic pain, illness, addiction, PTSD and other common co-occurring disorders including Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) or Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES). All of these issues can be treated using empirically proven techniques that address the whole person - body, mind and spirit.

I address issues of sexual abuse and addiction, partners of infidelity or sex addicts trauma, substance abuse, developmental immaturity, divorce, and failure to launch young men.
Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Healing and making life changes is what therapy is all about. I work with adolescents and adults using approaches encompassing spiritual, cognitive, behavioral, insight, and EMDR to make this happen.

This ranges from trauma experienced by veterans of wars, crime, and natural disasters to childhood emotional and physical abuse to varying degrees. Together we will match your therapy needs with the optimum approach for your healing and facilitation of change.

Hi! My name is Mishaal and as a therapist I really focus on creating a space that is safe and full of compassion because most of us have trouble finding spaces like that in our everyday lives. My goal is simply to help people feel better, and my therapy style is collaborative where together we identify issues and come up with solutions. While there are many approaches to therapy, I find the most value in engaging with my clients and being real in sessions. Meaning, I like to ask questions, offer perspectives, teach you tools, and sometimes just sit there with you while you feel a hard emotion.
