Hi there, I'm Deanna. Do you find yourself wanting to live a more authentic, empowered and meaningful life? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to cultivate the kind of relationships, work and level of health that you desire? I can help you understand and manage anxiety and explore the root cause of why you feel stuck, down or struggle to create the life you desire. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I integrate mindfulness & somatic experiencing techniques to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and your body. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I know that seeking therapy can feel scary and that it takes courage to show up for yourself in this way. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits that have been holding you back. Let's work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session together is an opportunity to start to get to know each other and to create a clear picture of what's going on. We will dive deep into the challenges you are facing and explore what kind of change you hope to see. It will also be important to identify specific intentions and goals for the work that we will do together. This will help me to create a tailored plan and path forward.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I believe that radical self-acceptance and self-love are pivotal tools for personal healing and transformation. When practiced consistently and compassionately, they hold the potential to heal deep-rooted wounds, foster personal growth, and unlock our truest potential. l am trained in and will integrate a variety of approaches based on your personal needs and goals. These include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Compassionate Inquiry, Emotion Focused Therapy and Family Systems.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I’ve always been driven by the desire to create a life of authenticity, freedom and joy, and to help others do the same. If I have a niche, that's it. I am endlessly curious about what it actually looks like to live a more whole-hearted and empowered life. There is no greater joy for me, than seeing the light in someone’s eyes as they discover who they are beyond their pain and fears and begin to create a life they desire and deserve! My therapeutic approach is based upon the belief that each of us carries within, the seed of greatness and the wisdom and tools to nourish it. I believe that YOU have a unique and vital gift to offer the world, just by being fully you. Our work together facilitates the emergence of that authentic, whole SELF.
