You wish you felt confident and happy with your life. You want things but many times your stress, anxiety, and worry about your current life and the past, interfere with your happiness. Do you feel deep pain, feel alone, and need some relief? You have thoughts that you are "not enough" or "you are unlovable." You want to feel better but don't know what else to do. I can help you learn about what may be influencing feeling stressed, having unhappy relationships, and what keeps you feeling stuck and in pain.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety or depression? Are your relationships dissatisfying or unmanageable? This may be due to a lack of boundaries and ineffective coping skills. Finding a therapist who you can relate to, you can trust, and be yourself with is the first step on the journey to reaching your goals. For the past 29 years I have focused my work on alcohol and drug abuse/dependence and narcissistic abuse and relationship loss/trauma.

I then utilize evidence-based treatment to assist clients with developing a plan for meeting their personal, professional, and relational needs.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, R-DMT, MA, MFA

Sometimes life presents us with difficult challenges and we feel lost. We may be haunted by trauma, feel stuck in relationships, have negative thoughts cycling around in our minds, and find that we are sabotaging ourselves. Changing life circumstances-both positive (like the birth of a child) or negative (loss of a job)-can cause anxiety and despair. I address these issues by fostering a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship where clients become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, make sense of their experiences, and move forward in their lives.

Rebecca Kiel
Counselor, MA, LCPC
Verified
Central to my practice is the belief that all of us deserve respect no matter our histories, and have within ourselves the wisdom for peace and healing. Our individual journeys are at times celebratory and at other times heartbreaking. We may not always be able to choose the circumstances we face such as illness, or the end of a relationship. Instead, we can choose what we are going to do about our challenges. We can choose how to integrate this information into our overall life stories for greater joy, creativity, and balance.

Do you ever feel like what you know in your head doesn't seem to connect to your heart , resulting in this feeling of being "stuck"? ( I know I should set goals. I just can't seem to follow through). My ideal client(s) are looking for a therapist who is practical, warm, funny and authentic. I have over 15 years experience helping people get "unstuck" by using both top down and bottom up therapy. Top down therapy helps you identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns. Bottom up therapy helps you regulate the inevitable ups and downs of life and connect what you know to what you do and how you feel in order to move forward.
