It's difficult to admit we are not where we want to be in our lives. It is painful when we are overwhelmed by sadness, anger, or worry. Attending counseling is an act of self-love and courage. You know yourself, and where you long to go. We work together to help you get there. Whether your distress is acute, or subtle, managed, or uncontrolled, it will lead to a lack of mental, physical and spiritual health. Unresolved anger, trauma, neglect, hurt, and family dysfunction will keep you stuck and block you from realizing your full potential.
I work with adults, youth and families to address depression, anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, family dysfunction, addiction and other unhelpful patterns of behavior. Since you are the expert of your life, we will work together to tailor solutions around what is right for you.
I have lived and traveled throughout the world. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, Somatic interventions, Family Therapy and a variety of other approaches. I use a holistic, practical and spiritual approach to help you heal. If you are interested, please email me so we can set up a time to talk. Logistical considerations are insurance, I only work 9-3, and location.
