Clients say this provider is
I help clients who feel overwhelmed by worry, racing thoughts, tension, fear, or the sense that they cannot fully relax. My goal is to help you recognize the strength already within you and learn practical ways to feel calmer and more in control. Because anxiety is shaped by each person’s upbringing, life experiences, thought patterns, and current circumstances, I take time to understand your unique story. Together, we can identify what is fueling your anxiety and create a path toward greater confidence, progress, and peace.
In our first session, you will have a place to express what you are wanting out of therapy. You can discuss your goals and needs. A brief history of your life is helpful for me to have an idea of what has impacted you. We will review your history and your goals to develop a plan for future sessions. If you have current crisis we can use the first session just to talk about that instead of goal planning and a history. The therapy room is here for you to help you grow and find peace.
I have 20 years of experience working with children and adults in social services and therapy. I bring warmth, compassion, and patience to every session, creating a space where you do not have to hide, minimize, or perfectly explain your anxiety. I will listen carefully to understand how worry affects your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and daily life. Together, we will build on your strengths and develop practical tools to help you feel grounded, manage anxious moments, and move forward with greater confidence.

When anxiety or depression leaves you feeling trapped in worry, self-doubt, sadness, or worst-case thinking, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, physical reactions, and behaviors. Together, we slow things down and identify the thoughts beneath what you are feeling—without judgment. We then practice looking at those thoughts in more balanced and helpful ways and develop coping skills you can use when emotions feel intense. Over time, CBT can help you feel less controlled by anxious or depressive patterns and more confident in how you respond to difficult moments.
If your emotions rise quickly, feel overwhelming, or make it difficult to think clearly, communicate, or feel steady, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for getting through those moments. We begin with mindfulness and distress tolerance to help you stay present, calm your body, and cope safely when feelings are intense. As you gain stability, we work on understanding and regulating emotions so they feel less unpredictable or consuming. We also build interpersonal effectiveness skills to help you express your needs, set healthy boundaries, and feel more secure in your relationships. DBT is not about judging your emotions; it is about helping you understand them and respond in ways that support the life you want.
If past experiences still feel present—through nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, strong physical reactions, or feeling on guard—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may help. Trauma can leave memories connected to intense emotions and body sensations, so reminders may make you feel as though the event is happening again. In EMDR, we work at a pace that supports your sense of safety while helping your brain reprocess those memories. The goal is not to erase what happened, but to reduce the emotional intensity connected to it so triggers feel less powerful and the memory feels more firmly in the past. Many clients find that this creates more room for calm, choice, and peace in their daily lives.

Great at listening good with solutions if you have any, problem with ptsd ,trauma, loss in your life, just whatever it might be. That is just emotionally heavy to carry, and you need help Deedra Ivie it is an expert in her field. I've had people try to murder me. I've been in gunfights, and there's a lot of trauma I have to deal with that.She has been amazing. If you're struggling and you need help, you need to talk about it she is one of the best to go to.

I liked her approach with the first meeting. Less about the questionnaire, and those things more about. And why you're looking to get therapy. What's brought you here? Thank you so much
