Therapists in Eureka, CA

Welcome. I'd like to let you know how I see therapy. For me it is important to provide a trusting, compassionate and understanding atmosphere so people can feel safe to explore, discover and develop basic qualities and skills necessary to grow and heal. I am a mindfulness, body-based psychotherapist who teaches the profound healing power of heartfelt awareness and how it can help people free themselves from negative and painful thoughts, beliefs and emotions. What I see happening with people who come to me is a belief that if they can control and avoid their pain and suffering it will go away.

People experience stress, sadness, frustration, and anxiety. These challenges might contribute to feeling stuck and unsure of which direction or actions to take. Sometimes, feeling stuck we are pulled to unhelpful actions. My goal is to support you in addressing your mental wellness needs so you can move toward your goals. These goals might be personal, social, emotional, or professional. Enhancing your ability to practice self-care and understand your own mental health can lead to positive outcomes across multiple facets of life. Together, we can accomplish this through open communication and collaboration in a safe environment.

I have been a good fit for individuals looking for a supportive space to address anxiety and depression, needing movement in developing new coping strategies, seeking a deeper level of wellness and balance, or identity development. I have often found that I work well with those who have found therapy unhelpful in the past and are looking to give it another try. I also recognize that counseling is a different experience for those who identify as ADHD or ASD. The neuro-diverse culture is an area that I have experience in and that I find meaningful to work with.

I help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and trauma to cope in a more balanced and healthy way. Is anxiety a constant in your life?

I'm here to help through empathetic listening and by providing you with effective tools to cope with the things that are weighing you down. I truly understand how trauma, anxiety, and depression can feel, and I'm here to help support you as you learn healthy coping strategies to take control over them.

I utilize a LGBTQIA+ affirmative lens and fuse together a psychodynamic approach and when appropriate Attachment Focused EMDR to target traumas. I also enjoy working with couples who are looking to tune up their communication skills and make time to reconnect.

I provide a supportive therapeutic relationship and skillful psychotherapy. I can help with a range of concerns that people bring to therapy.

Along with talk therapy, when appropriate I enjoy incorporating non-verbal forms of expression such as drawing and sand tray work.
