Your sleep has become irregular. You are eating too many cookies or you don't feel like eating. It is hard to get up in the morning. The energy you once had has become a memory. Your friends seem to be doing much better than you are, so you can't confide in them about how you feel. You worry about your spouse, about your children, about the economy, or about your job. You wonder if you are drinking too many lattes or glasses of wine. It is hard to concentrate, to get just one thing done.And you don't know why you have these thoughts, these worries, these sleepless nights.

Everyone needs someone to talk to about what they’re going through in their lives. As social creatures, we tend to turn to our friends, family, and partners to help us sort it out. Sometimes we’ll find ourselves telling the same stories and have awareness of what's going on, but unsure of what to do with that knowledge. I offer nature walk and talks to clients that would like to move their bodies while improving their mental health. Physically moving forward is also metaphorical. By actively changing our scenery and environment, we create distance from our past and make space for healthier patterns to emerge.

Listen...are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?" Mary Oliver asks this wise question. If it resonates for you, that makes so much sense. We are living in an complicated and unjust world, in a challenging time, and often have painful dynamics in our own lives, past and present. It is no wonder that we often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, disconnection, hopelessness, or self-doubt. Counseling can help you reconnect with your presence, passion, and purpose. We all deserve a life filled with deep, nourishing breaths.

As a parent myself, I have experience surrounding childbirth as well as blended family dynamics.

I use an informal, down-to-earth approach so clients can feel comfortable working collaboratively to "name the elephant" in their life, drill down to the core of issues and discover how patterns from the past repeat in the present. I am passionate about challenging stuck points, old habits and outdated beliefs with care, compassion and respect. I am never afraid to bring humor into a session when appropriate as I value the healing properties of laughter.

At the Partnership for Trauma Recovery we believe that true healing happens when we find the courage to look at the root of the long standing patterns and difficulties we have. While learning to cope with the daily burdens of these patterns is an important skill, our philosophy is that simply learning to manage only places a bandage on the problem. In order to truly heal we have to look deeper into ourselves and try to determine where these patterns developed.

Welcome! In this very moment you're choosing to be on your journey. My therapeutic philosophy is to facilitate and support your body's innate healing response through the applications of EMDR, (EMDRIA.ORG) and heart-centered therapies. EMDR in particular works to liberate clients from past trauma memories whether that be small "t" trauma or big 'T" trauma and to transform a person's subconscious beliefs thus "turning down the volume" on negative memories/negative beliefs and transforming those subconscious beliefs back into positive core beliefs so that you may become your highest aspect of yourself.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
