Therapists in Eureka, CA

We are all differently-abled & have our own challenges in life. Whether you are experiencing painful relationships, stress, crisis, life changes or just want more out of life, counseling can help. Covid-19 created a lot of changes for us all and I am here as a support. I believe in a holistic approach that is centered around where you want to begin. I'm here to join you in making a plan for success, providing a supportive therapeutic relationship & competency-based psychotherapy. I have been working in northern California since 1993 & am skilled in various methods so that counseling can be interactive, engaging, & reflective.

Presence, attunement and holistic witnessing provide the container to safely feel, express and expand. With a resonant, integrative, and somatic approach, we'll explore and process in a way that allows your thoughts, emotions, feelings, felt sense and unique lived experience to take up space and integrate, highlighting your depth of inner wisdom and resourcing unique to you.

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? Are your life circumstances causing you to feel like life is closing in on you? Does the trauma of the past hold you back from experiencing life to the fullest? 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.

There is no one approach that will work for everyone, and sometimes the process can be frustrating. We will work together to find ways to meet your needs and work toward your goals, and build from there. Our plan will evolve as we move forward in a collaborative way. This is for you, and my job is to support you.
