Seeking balance? I am a trained social worker who works with women, men, couples, and adolescents. You may struggle with situations and issues in your life including but not limited to coping with strong emotions, thinking poorly of yourself, a traumatic event or experiencing frustration in relationships. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process in which one is able to reflect on thought processes, emotional states, roles in a system, and ineffective behaviors while in a safe and secure environment. I try to create a collaborative alliance with my clients that allows them to understand themselves better and find balance.

When you don't feel like yourself anymore. You might find yourself acting almost like a different person: snapping at loved ones, feeling threatened, sleeplessness and nightmares, anxiety or depression... It can be confusing and uncomfortable. It can feel like there is a line between two worlds of "you before" and "you after". It's hard to know when you can fix the problem yourself, and when to ask for help, but what you're doing isn't working. It is possible to return to a new version of the old you. You don't have to be a slave to your emotions anymore. You and I work together to build the skills you need to cope.

*I OFFER EMDR INTENSIVES + WEEKLY SESSIONS* I wonder if you have sought feelings of fulfillment and security through pursuing external goals. If this hasn’t worked, maybe you strive to stay up and out of your pain with distraction or numbing - feeling unsafe in your body or the present moment. Perhaps you work to stay away from the parts of yourself you have learned are ‘bad’ and avoid feelings and memories that are scary and painful. Maybe you strive to feel ok by doing what you’ve learned you’re supposed to do, but rarely what you truly desire. This is not your failure! You’ve done what you needed to survive.

Thoughts create your reality. Does your current reality reflect the life you truly desire? We all know negative thinking can transform into questioning every decision you make. One thought leading to another telling you a story making it easier for you to believe. You find yourself in a dark space, isolated and uncertain of how to move forward. You tend to compare yourself to others and feel hopelessly inferior. Self-doubt, low self-esteem, anxiety, isolation, unmet goals, fear, and even depression begin to become your everyday norm, impacting your quality of life. Do I need therapy to take control of my life?
