Stress, self-doubt, and worry can be difficult enough to manage on our own when things are "normal," but when you add the impact of the recent events our society is dealing with they can seem overwhelming. Whether a teenager or an adult, stress and trauma can make us question who we are and what's important to us. Negative emotions and thoughts get in the way of our relationships with other people and make us feel like we aren't able to be the person we want to be. Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you make changes which bring more control and confidence in to your life.

It's difficult to know where to turn when you're trying to make sense of life's challenges. Reaching out for help is an important step toward hope and healing. Therapy can help if you're experiencing conflict, distress, or disconnect in your relationships. You can work through hurtful events and experiences, both past and present, that are disrupting your life.

You worry all the time and wonder what is wrong with you. You notice others around you going about their day, laughing and having fun, when all you think about is what is going to go wrong next. You go round and round in your head with questions like “What if my loved one gets cancer or dies?” “What if I lose my job?” “What if my home burns down?” You know your worries are overboard but don't know how to stop worrying. Your mind spins out of control until you feel completely overwhelmed. When you try to sleep at night, it is the worst, as your mind doesn’t stop for hours until you pass out from exhaustion.

Hi, I'm Reevkah and I'm so glad you're here. Life can be difficult, especially when you're experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and more. Finding happiness and joy can feel out of reach, so I feel lucky to be part of my client's journey to reaching those goals - which are more attainable than they often seem.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey where you can discover inner wisdom, make peace with your past, and create a more fulfilling present and future. I'm passionate about helping people express and externalize internal struggles, conflicts, or emotions. I aim to help clients cultivate a greater sense of self-insight and acceptance through the exploration of their inner selves. I understand that certain feelings and experiences can be challenging to convey solely through traditional talk therapy and emphasize the value of hands-on experiences for promoting emotional healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.

My clients have come to therapy because they know something needs to change. They are looking for some relief from constant negative thoughts and emotions that interfere with their life and relationships. The cause of these issues may be anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, unprocessed trauma, situational stresses, family problems, or many other factors which seem overwhelming. They may be feeling stuck or at a crisis point in their lives. At this point they reach out to a counselor who will show that they will really listen and understand the client's perspective. It is this caring connection that creates hope for change.
