Life can be overwhelming and intimidating. Escalating anxiety or tensions may jumble your thoughts, impacting your judgment and self-esteem. Significant or traumatic events may change how you view yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you. Communicating your emotions and needs then becomes a struggle, affecting your relationships, family, or work. We all need support at times, whether it's dealing with day-to-day challenges, past events, or even the current sociopolitical climate. Asking for help for yourself or as a couple is a daunting task, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and safe during this process.

It's a beautiful day, can you enjoy it? I bet you are seeking a therapist because there is something getting in the way of completely enjoying this thing called life. I know it is a little intimidating to reach out for someone to talk with, but you have taken the first step and I am ready to talk when you are.

Psychotherapy accelerates a person's effectiveness and healthy functioning in the world s/he lives in. At the foundation of this process is genuine trust and respect, one that allows opportunities for exploring personal resources and strengths, habits of behavior, internal conflicts, disruptions of self-concept or attachment, familiar ways of thinking and relating, or to find ways to continue on the path chosen. Psychotherapy creates new distinctions about behavior and world view so as to act and view your self, relationships, and circumstances in new ways. Dr. Stormberg's approach is what Carl Jung described as "a practical psychotherapy to fit people for life."

There are many different theories about how to manage unwanted behaviors in children, and how to help struggling teens. Some of these theories can leave parents with more questions than answers. You might ask yourself, "Does my child need more attention, or am I giving too much? Are my expectations of my teenager too high, or too low? If I ask for help, does that make me a good parent, or an incompetent one?” I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, and I can help you find answers that fit your individual family’s needs.

I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, children, and LGBTQs. I like to delve into the depression, anxiety, or whatever is troubling you to get at and transform, moving towards a productive satisfying life. I'm good at getting at the potential, power, genius, and strength which lies within, surfacing creativity, health, and well being. Usually, when one discovers their potential it is like dropping a pebble in the calm lake, rippling goodness for all around them.

I have spent over 20 years working with children, adults, and families in private practice, homes, residential facilities, treatment centers, and emergency shelters. I now address issues for women such as anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and confusion during life transitions. My diverse and unique experiences as a practitioner and an individual, make me a strong ally for change and healing. I work with emotional/behavioral issues with clients who are ready for change and to break free from judgement. I am a Life Coach for women who are ready to stop people-pleasing by recognizing their own self-worth and empowerment.

I've worked extensively with trauma survivors to help them find healing from their past, and to begin creating a life worth living for themselves in the present. I became a therapist because I wanted to work with clients who had experienced trauma, and while I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, I have worked successfully with clients from numerous backgrounds.

Because every kind of emotional suffering deserves relief... 1) I treat trauma survivors with PTSD and depression; 2) I help couples or individuals who are struggling in partner relationships; and 3) I advise adults who are frustrated in their parenting adventures. Also, if you are surviving dissociative symptoms, are recovering from secret habits, are suffering with anxiety or bipolar disorder, hear voices, have a history of several psychiatric diagnoses, or haven't responded well to psychotropic medications, come talk to me. (**If you prefer a female clinician, I can connect you with a trusted, experienced female therapist.**)
