Getting to know you, collaborating on your desired goals, and your participation are the most vital aspects of our work. We'll look at your thoughts and feelings, discover how they affect your behaviors and incorporate healthier alternatives (CBT). I also use Brainspotting (BSP) to access trauma stuck deep within the nervous system to allow for processing completion and resolution.
