What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I offer a free 15 minute phone consult to discuss anything you may have concerns about and answers questions you have about the therapy process. I know asking for help can be hard and is often scary . Feeling uncertain is normal. Please feel free to sign up for a consultation prior to booking a full session if that would put your mind at ease . During our first session we will talk about what brought you to see me, what you want to get out of therapy, and how I can best support you . Together we will create a plan that will help you on your healing journey. This is a partnership where we work as a team to find the best healthy solutions :-). Many of my client’s say they feel a sense of relief and inner peace after their first session.

I am kind , authentic and compassionate. I have been helping people restore and navigate their life for over thirty years. I understand that sharing your story can be scary . I will hold space for you allowing you to share what feels comfortable at your own pace . I have lived experience with many of the areas I specialize allowing me to help you not only clinically but in a practical heartfelt environment.

My treatment methods

Grief Therapy

I focus on grief work helping people heal from the pain of losing a loved one. Some of the forms of loss I work with are suicide survivors (those who lost someone to suicide). Parents that have lost a child due to illness or tragedy. Siblings that have lost a sibling- often known as the forgotten mourners . Losing someone you love creates a new normal that is feels impossible to navigating life without them . I can help you figure out how to find the way to navigate the pain, loneliness, grief, fear and sadness and all the emotions in between . Additionally, I work with people who have lost a family pet I understand that pets are in integral part of people’s lives and family and often have nowhere they feel safe to grieve their pet .

EMDR

Most of my work is with trauma , such abuse , loss , chronic illness, suicide survivors , sexual abuse victims, divorce , sudden death , loss of a pet. I work with adults, young adults and teenagers who are trying to process current or past trauma . EMDR is one of the treatment methods that has been proven to reduce trauma significantly in less sessions -with out reliving the trauma .

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I was trained at Duke in health and wellness . I focus a lot on mind body , mindfulness , guided meditation , and self love and authenticity with self and others .

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I work with clients to create effective smart goals. I facilitate helping clients find solutions to problems in a quick effective manner . This allows clients to help restore balance and joy to their life !
