Teletherapy for Eureka, CA

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a deeper awareness of their past, in order to understand themselves in the present and thrive in the future. I strive to create trusting relationships with my clients that allow us to work together collaboratively. I typically help clients with relational issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. 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 (she/her/hers) work with transition aged youth (14-24), adults and seniors in my telehealth practice online. I want to see people who need help with making decisions, dealing with the past, and accepting self care into their own lives.

I will collaborate with you to find a meaningful path to relief and healing. Since 2008, I have worked with children, teens, adults and families with relational issues, learning and mood disorders, ADHD, substance abuse, PTSD, depression and anxiety. Please call me for a confidential telephone meeting to see if we are a good fit to collaborate on your path to healing.

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.

People routinely experience depression, anxiety, and other challenges related to trauma. These challenges might contribute to feeling stuck and unsure of which direction to go or actions to take. 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, and/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.

Everything about our lives is centered in relationship; knowing how to effectively initiate and maintain supportive, enjoyable and mutually satisfying relationships will serve us throughout our lives. But this doesn't happen without many ups and downs, some of which benefit from including a supportive, objective and helpful therapist. If you are wishing to improve your thinking, your skill in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression or trauma, living in past experiences or fearing the future, I would be honored to help.

New Growth Psychology is dedicated to providing psychodynamic therapy to teens and adults.

Some possible benefits of psychodynamic therapy include increased awareness of emotions, increased self-esteem and deepening in interpersonal relationships.

Hello, I love working with couples, adults, and young adults. I am here to help a wide range of individuals who may simply need someone to talk to without judgment, processing trauma, to learning new coping skills for anxiety and depression. I believe that people are multifaceted, complex, and simply trying to do the best they can with what they have.

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.

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 believe that the therapy process is a practice of paying attention to what is actually happening - it sounds simple, but this is actually a deeply profound and challenging stance to maintain towards life. The work we do in therapy involves bringing elements of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, how we relate to ourselves and to others, and how we move through the world, from the darkness of the unconscious into the light of consciousness where we can take a look at them. We do not have to struggle and toil in order to implement change in our lives.
