LPC, 26 years of experience
Do you feel overwhelmed with life? Have thoughts that are getting in your way? I am a counselor (LPC) with a music therapy background (PhD). I work with people with trauma, anxiety, depression, relational distress, and PTSD. Working together, you develop insights and mind/body skills to use daily, helping you to live the best version of yourself. I favor a humanistic, empathetic style in the therapy session. You and I are two people working together to deepen our understanding of your experiences and find positive pathways forward. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you can feel safe, where insight can flourish, and where you can develop new life skills. Please note however, that I am not a medical doctor, and I CANNOT PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS.
This is a huge step you are taking - a new beginning in your life. At first, you may feel some therapy anxiety, and that is normal. In the first session, we will get to know each other and what you are struggling with, and we will set up a plan with the first steps towards reaching your goals in a way that feels comfortable to you. My approach is warm and flexible, as we collaborate in setting goals for your therapy. Together, we will explore how your thoughts and emotions impact your life. You will develop personalized skills to empower you to shape your life experience, and we will draw on your positive resources and creativity to find constructive ways to help you thrive.
My life experience is my greatest strength as a provider. My own early experiences in life left me feeling as though I did not have what it takes to live a full and satisfying life. But throughout my childhood and adolescence, I was blessed with the opportunity to engage in music, which taught me that feelings and thoughts can change, even when it feels like they can't. In 25 years of experience teaching, supervising, and providing therapy, I have witnessed that it can change lives dramatically. It is my passion to help others experience the change, renewal, and peace that can result from working with a professional in an empathetic, therapeutic relationship.
I work with adults who feel that the challenges they face are impeding their desired progress and hampering their well-being in life. These problems may include relationship issues, career goals, and self-image. Sometimes, people find it hard to put into words the enormity of what they are feeling. We can also use drawings and music and imagery to help you express your innermost experiences and we will work together to make meaning of this in your own personal narrative.
The most important aspect in therapy is the relationship that we cultivate with each other. My approach is to favor humanistic engagement in the therapy session. You and I are two people working together to deepen our understanding of your experiences and to find positive pathways to lead you forward and help you to thrive in your life. This relationship between us is a primary means of growth and healing. Therefore, I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere of unconditional acceptance where reflection and insight can flourish, and you can develop new life skills.
Often, current problems may have roots in the past, and in addition to talk therapy, we may decide to use right-brain practices such as art and music to illuminate and work through them to bring insight and change. We will learn about how your feelings are connected to your nervous system and practice some breathing exercises and movement together that you can use throughout your day to restore your emotional balance.

I had a great first session with Dr.Eyre. I believe we're a great fit. I'm grateful and feel lucky I found her at first shot.
