Welcome to Suncrest Counseling! Do you struggle with excessive worry and/or perfectionism? Never feeling like you're enough? Excessive guilt? People pleasing? Critical self talk? Difficulties in relationships? I enjoy helping my clients understand their emotions, clarify their values, heal from the past, and move towards living a more fulfilling life. What matters to you is important to me. I incorporate a variety of approaches into counseling to fit the needs of my clients. I especially enjoy working with clients through anxiety, OCD, depression, perfectionism, and shame.
I have worked with many different clients and issues over the years. I have extensive experience working with complex relationship trauma and addiction issues. I see people, not disorders and am passionate about helping individuals understand negative family patterns that lead to unhealthy behaviors and relationships.
I tend to see things from a connection and emotional focus and feel that problems in attachment relationships (key, love relationships) are at the core of addictions as well as many other mental health problems. I believe that our need for love and attachment is absolute and cradle to grave.
