(she/her)
Hey y'all, I'm Tabitha. Do you feel overwhelmed and under too much stress? Are you struggling with a history of trauma or problem relationships that cause problems in your current relationships? Is it hard to break those problem patterns or be kind to yourself? I help people overcome their anxieties and past traumatic/problematic relationship and behavior patterns. Together we can explore the problems that are causing difficulty in your life and relationships and find ways to resolve or move past them. We will use a holistic, whole self approach addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I try to integrate the things that are important to you into treatment to help you develop a strong healthy relationship with yourself as well as your people. I'm here to help. I know that seeking therapy can be scary and overwhelming, but you are making the right choice in seeking a safe place, free of judgment, to heal and grow. I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques like EMDR to help you overcome the problems you are struggling to deal with on your own. I'm here for you and happy to help.
First session we'll go over paperwork and treatment expectations. We will also go into your background and what's brought you to therapy at this time. This can include some sensitive topics/information, but you can let me know that topic is something you don't want to into detail about at that time. This first appointment is both a time to determine if my knowledge and experience will be helpful for you and why you're seeking help, as well as a time for you to determine if I'm someone you feel comfortable with. If we decide I'm not the best fit for you (especially if you let me know that, I promise it won't hurt my feelings any), then we can discuss options for you moving forward including referral to another provider online or in person.
I work with a lot of people with trauma history that have gotten "stuck" in their life and problem patterns in life and relationships. I help those people process and move forward from their problem patterns and traumatic memories. I do my best to view and treat you as a whole person and try to look at a variety of alternatives for causes/contributing factors to your struggles as well as additional supports and opportunities for supports/community for you.
I like working with diverse people and hear about your life and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. I don't have one specific type of person I prefer to work with outside of preferring to work with teens and adults. I do like to work with those going through life transitions and due to training/experience like to work with people that are ready to work through trauma.
