Whether you are struggling with sadness, finding the energy to do things in life, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, trauma, unhealthy coping, or even masking your emotions; you are capable and you can heal. I truly believe that most people will do well when they know how to do well. It's hard to ask for help and it's hard to accept the help. We just get stuck in the quick fix, easiest option, or the least emotionally draining route. My style towards therapy is direct, relational, and authentic. I won't sugar coat things or tell you what you "want" to hear, and I hope the same from you. This is about you and for you.
In our first session we will take a deeper dive into what has been coming up for you more immediately and then identify and review some ways to get some symptom alleviation to assist throughout the growth process!
I have worked with pre-teens, teenagers, and their families with mental health and parenting struggles for the past decade with most of my experience being in residential care, to more recently outpatient care. You absolutely can recover with the right tools, framework, and strategies. You're not alone in this journey. Let's connect to start the process.
I have been trained in EMDR since 2020 and incorporate EMDR as an alternative therapy to traditional talk therapy to help with symptom reduction and healing past emotional wounds.
Working on thought processes and core negative beliefs perpetuating dysfunction in mood and decisions being made.
Incorporation and acquisition of strategies and skillsets to help you control your emotions rather than your emotions controlling you.
Evaluating values and beliefs and reflecting whether choices and lifestyle are aligning.
Direct approach in confronting and working through difficulties in life in a way to move towards a place of change.
