Close your eyes and take a moment to reflect back on the last time you felt a sense of peace and belonging or your inner light sparked joy. Maybe you want to experience more of this or need guidance on how to create it. Take a moment and thank yourself for prioritizing your motivation to change, heal, and become that best version of yourself today.
Together, we can work toward your treatment goals using evidence based practices intertwined with a holistic approach. While I use person centered therapy to meet each client where they are at, interventions such as CBT, DBT, REBT, IFS, mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used throughout therapy to retrain the brain.
As a licensed professional counselor, I have extensive experience working with clients on drug & alcohol addictions and their recovery and complex trauma. I also work heavily with anxiety, depression, family & relationship conflict, self esteem, co occurring disorders and much more. I would be happy to navigate this season of life with you through therapy.
