We can all get stuck, overwhelmed, or just feel hopeless in our lives for many different reasons. But when problems begin to disrupt sleep, appetite, or cause negative mood changes, it is important to seek counseling! Whether dealing with emotional /mental health issues or couple / family difficulties, I ensure professional care, that is honest, respectful and with your best interest at heart. Together we build hope with better solutions by gaining realistic insight, and increasing tools for control back in your life. This allows healing and positive life changes to be experienced.
Throughout my years of experience, I have been given the opportunity to assist individuals with developmental disabilities, substance abuse, mental health issues and relationship problems. Resolving underlying issues of fears, guilt, shame, trauma, abuse, or unforgiveness, is key to healing. Therapy is gentle, honest and positively focused forward.
Building self esteem and reprocessing traumatic or distressing memories are common directions of therapy, in which EMDR is used. Resources such as personal strengths, support systems and spiritual focus are encouraged for individual's in therapy. Relational counseling frequently involves restoring sincere and caring communication, support and deeper connections.
