My specific areas of experience and expertise include adjustment concerns (e.g., career and life changes, etc.), anxiety (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety), depression, emotional dysregulation, grief, insomnia, nightmares, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
I believe that setting the stage for a collaborative therapeutic relationship and honoring the client as the expert about their life and challenges are core pieces of working effectively in psychotherapy. I blend this client centered approach with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approaches.

I get it! Being a human is hard, especially with added expectations of relationships, society, school/work & culture. You're tired of the overwhelming thoughts, endless to-do lists & the pressure to keep up. Maybe you struggle with focus, comparing yourself to others or feeling like you're never enough. You've tried avoiding those feelings of burnout, anxiety, guilt, shame & loneliness, but they keep showing up. You feel like you've lost yourself, you know something needs to change but you're unsure where to start. I'm Connie and I'd be honored to create a safe space to explore this with you.

We often carry the weight of our experiences in ways that no longer serve us, whether it's the pressure to perform, the residue of past trauma, or patterns we feel unable to change. My practice is built on a simple belief: understanding the context of your struggle is the first step toward changing it. Having spent over 15 years in the corporate world, I bring a deep, practical understanding of how high-pressure environments impact mental health. I now help individuals unpack the burdens of burnout, anxiety, and trauma to find a more grounded path forward.

Do you have a past event that affects you in the present when you think about it? Or a phobia that is causing you anxiety? I specialize in a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) that can help you process distressing memories without needing to relive them. You are not required to share details of the past situation, but instead will be guided to mentally engage with those memories in a way that feels safe and manageable. Using guided imagery and rapid eye movements, ART allows the brain to reprocess trauma, anxiety, or other emotional challenges, reducing their emotional impact and helping you move forward.

Do you often feel anxious without reason? Do you sometimes wish your mind could just stop thinking for awhile and let you enjoy inner peace? We often become victims of our own minds and emotions, struggling with the same inner and outer turmoil over and over and don’t know why. Anxiety, worry, self doubt, fear and incessant thinking aren’t caused by a single factor but a combination of things such as trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, troubled relationships and stress. Dealing with these issues, processing your feelings and learning strategies to quiet your mind will help you attain inner peace and emotional resilience

I have been helping people for over 40 years using a multifaceted approach. I work from the position of deep respect for all individuals. Presently, I use biofeedback in my practice. This allows me to assist clients with their physical, mental, and spiritual issues. I also use tools such as neuro-linguistic programming and Hypnosis. When a client’s suffering has manifested physically in her/his/their body, I often use pain-free electro acupuncture and laser therapy, taking into account the client's comfort level. It is the intention that clients will leave with a skill level that will help them create a quality life.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
