Stress Therapists in Eureka, CA
We all come to points in life when we realize something needs to change. Whether you are experiencing conflict, anger, depression, stress, or loss, counseling can help. We can't always control what life throws at us, but in counseling we learn to respond in new ways to reduce suffering, increase happiness and improve our health and relationships. Counseling can reduce stress, heal trauma and loss, increase healthy connections and help life feel more managable. If you are ready to make positive changes, I would love to help you.

I have supported clients throughout their journeys with depressive, anxiety, personality and stress-related disorders, among other diagnoses, and have also worked with disordered eating/body image diagnoses.
Whether it be to better manage mental health symptoms, phase of life challenges, interpersonal difficulties, or challenges with identity/self-actualization/integration, I support clients as they look inward and identify how cognitive patterns affect behavior and emotions. I prefer to take a client-focused but also evidence-based approach to exploring the relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the application of this clinical matrix, clients can identify potential origins, triggers and patterns.

I came to Humboldt County in 2001, after completing my psychology degree in Europe and my master's degree in psychotherapy in Syracuse, New York. I have practiced psychotherapy for the last 30 years, and I am familiar with a wide range of issues, situations and diagnosis. Although, I enjoy specific theoretical and practical approaches and models of therapy like CBT, SFBT for treating anxiety, trauma impact and depression symptoms, I clinically focus on what I believe suits best the individual and the situation. I view life as a journey towards betterment of the person and reach for happiness.

Welcome. I'd like to let you know how I see therapy. For me it is important to provide a trusting, compassionate and understanding atmosphere so people can feel safe to explore, discover and develop basic qualities and skills necessary to grow and heal. I am a mindfulness, body-based psychotherapist who teaches the profound healing power of heartfelt awareness and how it can help people free themselves from negative and painful thoughts, beliefs and emotions. What I see happening with people who come to me is a belief that if they can control and avoid their pain and suffering it will go away.

I’m honored to offer you a compassionate space where you can release pain, shame, guilt, grief, and any other emotions you’re ready to process. Why is this important? Because the emotions we resist tend to persist, keeping us trapped in old patterns of thinking and behavior. The path to true healing and growth begins with a safe, trusting relationship between client and therapist. That’s where I come in. I work from a client centered, strengths based perspective. This means I believe in you and the inherent strengths that you possess that have carried you throughout your life.

Humans are social beings and navigating through our interpersonal and cultural relationships are crucial to our mental health. We'll vibe together, laugh together, and work together to ensure you are being supported while meeting your goals.

I have been a good fit for individuals looking for a supportive space to address anxiety and depression, needing movement in developing new coping strategies, seeking a deeper level of wellness and balance, or identity development. I have often found that I work well with those who have found therapy unhelpful in the past and are looking to give it another try. I also recognize that counseling is a different experience for those who identify as ADHD or ASD. The neuro-diverse culture is an area that I have experience in and that I find meaningful to work with.
