I have over 15 years experience working with those who have suffered loss and are experiencing grief in a variety of ways. I also have extensive experience working with those who have an array of trauma.
I use an eclectic approach to therapy pulling from many major theories. I meet you where you are in the process and hold your hand through the journey. We walk those hard times together in order for you to learn to sit in your feelings and move through the 'yucky" feelings. The over all goal of therapy is for you to stand on your own.
Should I? Shouldn't I? What if people think there's something wrong with me? These are questions many people ask themselves when starting therapy. There is nothing wrong with you! We ALL have learned ways to cope with our yucky feelings in unhealthy ways. We will work together to find those unhealthy things which hurt you and find newer healthier ways.
