Now accepting new clients for EMDR therapy! Are you tired of avoiding life? Scrolling social media, watching the same movies over and over, sleeping in and staying home all the time is not actually making you feel any better. Do you notice yourself struggling at work, isolating, lashing out at your partner or kids, over eating, and just not enjoying life anymore? Maybe you were taught to sweep all of your problems under the rug and "be grateful." You really do appreciate all the sacrifices that have been made for you, but you still can't shake these negative feelings. You know it is time to try something different. I can help!
I specialize in working with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma related issues. By using mindfulness, I help people learn to accept their negative thoughts and feelings without judgment. I also use EMDR, ACT, and CBT to help people move on from patterns of negative thinking that are not serving them.
I know that for many people, seeking mental health treatment is frowned upon. But, it can make such a big difference in your quality of life. Imagine how things could be different if you learned to deal with negative emotions instead of avoiding them. I can't wait to get to know you. I look forward to helping you find your peace.
