I work with preteens, adolescents, adults, and families that may be dealing with depression, anxiety, communication, anger, low self-esteem, self-harming behaviors, drug and alcohol addictions.
As individuals, we experience influences, temptations, trials and tribulations in different times in our lives, which can leave you feeling hopeless, helpless, out of control or like you have failed. I understand how life and environments can become a routine, a pattern, and sometimes an unhealthy cycle. I am here to help you identify and make steps toward being the kind of person or family you want to be.

Our mission is to help individuals, families, and groups explore the issues keeping them from a satisfying and fulfilling life. FWCAI's clinically trained therapists offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, seeking the best solution for each client. We offer an integrated approach to counseling, using a biblical worldview and our skills and experience to offer counseling from a Christian perspective, although we also use traditional and cutting edge therapeutic approaches and integrate them into our practice where helpful. Not every client shares our worldview, and this integrated approach allows us to serve clients not seeking distinctly Christian counseling.

Counseling services available in English and Spanish. Finding it challenging to see the positive things in your life? Stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma can make us feel hopeless that it prevents us from experiencing life in an optimistic way. Sometimes those difficult feelings or negative experiences can make us feel like we are just surviving the day instead of enjoying life. I am here to help you find your purpose again and start living! All it takes is you taking the first steps in wanting something different for yourself to get different results. Change can be hard, but simply surviving the day is harder.

Life is hard! Whether it be stressors of everyday life, family or marital issues, school or work-related problems or because of recent or past trauma/grief, life can become messy. It gets hard not only for oneself, but also for loved ones or those around us. The reality is it happens to ALL of us. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen with compassion and without judgment. Sometimes we require resources or coping strategies to help navigate the obstacles life throws at us. No matter what it is we need, therapy is the first step. Therapy equips us with the tools that we need to face whatever hardships we have.

Maybe you struggle with waking up, feeling a sense of dread or panic almost everyday. You may wonder why others seem happy and you feel intensely unhappy. Or you may not believe you are worthy of love, and it’s confusing when others tell you how great you are. You may not have treasured childhood memories, because you had to be the adult to survive as a kid; being carefree as a kid was never an option for you. You may use a substance of choice to help you take the edge off daily life or stressful events where you may choose to pretend in place of being yourself. Or maybe you feel tired and uninterested in life All. The. Time.

Self-Harming Therapists

How does therapy for self-harm work?

A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.

Which therapies are best for self-harm?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.

Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?

Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
