Therapists in Eureka, CA

The pandemic was hard on all of us. If you feel like you need some support or help to desal the last couple of years, I'm here. We all need help occasionally. Learning how to approach and overcome these challenges shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. Therapy allows us to look at where we may be blocked and helps us find our own answers to living an authentic life. I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life issues, understand difficult situations, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations that lead to a more authentic life.

My goal is to help people connect with themselves and others in meaningful and satisfying ways. Connection with the self allows acceptance and enjoyment of life without fear, suspicion, self-judgment, etc., which can prevent us from living life to its fullest. Connection with others allows us to "double our joy and divide our grief." Addressing issues such as depression, self-esteem, or anger can enhance our abilities to know ourselves and be fully present with others. I use an eclectic therapeutic style so that the work can be tailored to fit each client in each session.

We all come to points in life when we realize something needs to change. Whether you are experiencing conflict, anger, depression, stress, or loss, counseling can help. We can't always control what life throws at us, but in counseling we learn to respond in new ways to reduce suffering, increase happiness and improve our health and relationships. Counseling can reduce stress, heal trauma and loss, increase healthy connections and help life feel more managable. If you are ready to make positive changes, I would love to help you.

Therapy helps you craft a healthy relationship with yourself and others, and supports meaningful life choices. My clients struggle with issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, loneliness, relationship challenges, questions around life direction, and personal identity. Often they report feeling "stuck," frustrated in their ability to change or move forward in their lives. As a therapist, I like to work collaboratively with clients to support and strengthen what is already working and to bring insight to areas that need more attention. With compassion and kindness, my aim is to help my clients gain coping skills that foster greater well-being and help manage difficult feelings.

Therapy is a place where we get to focus on what's important to us: where we've been, where we'd ideally like to go, and everything in between.

My goal is to meet you exactly where you are at, and to support you in the ways that you need.
