Practiced behaviors become influential patterns that transcend generations. Unfortunately, abusive cycles committed by our caregivers or those we hold dear to our hearts manifest into routine, emotional pain, which can feel impossible to break. We find ourselves normalizing abuse to maintain connections to our abusers even when it hurts.  Being raised in unhealthy environments shifts our views of the world. In our attempts to navigate other interpersonal relationships, reminders of past practices further validate our unhealthy realities and perceptions, which determine how we interact with others. Over time, we develop coping and protective mechanisms to avoid reopening emotional wounds. Some embark on the counseling journey to get through moments. At Therapy Over Easy, we help you heal from a lifetime of infliction. Since its inception in 2017, our licensed therapists at Therapy Over Easy have implemented a practical approach to treating the residual effects of trauma in individuals, families, and groups by helping navigate the therapeutic process with clarity and ease. We combine innovative and evidence-based strategies to assist clients in understanding generational cycles of abuse and its impact on disordered personality development. Our process consists of: (1) Awareness of underlying challenges (2) Psychoeducation to learn your coping style and protective mechanisms (3) Confronting the past without shame, guilt, anger, or resentment (4) Challenging perceptions, and  (5) Internal Change to navigate social environments better A simple investment in yourself guarantees a generous return. Allow us to match your effort. 

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

Our initial session consists of introductions and an explanation of the therapeutic process you will embark on at Therapy Over Easy. Next, we will cover confidentiality, cancellation policies, and my responsibility as a mandated reporter. After this, a clinical assessment will be conducted to explore your challenges and coping style. Finally, we will discuss your goal(s) and the next steps for developing your treatment plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

The key to mental freedom is seeing beyond your current circumstances to create a life where you can thrive and live in harmony with yourself. We at Therapy Over Easy take pride in the many success stories of clients who have reclaimed their lives by removing the barriers of trauma to uncover the power of creative healing. We help you make life easy.

My treatment methods

Integrative

Integrative therapy is a holistic approach to therapy that combines ideas and techniques based on the client's unique needs. This approach is the foundation of my work. Clients have the best outcomes when their counselor brings a toolkit to help resolve challenges instead of a tool.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic Therapy strives to help people understand the pervasive influences of their past or unconscious motivations behind difficult feelings and behaviors.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a style of therapy that helps clients relieve symptoms by replacing rigid ways of living and thinking with cognitive flexibility (e.g., the ability to self-reflect, look at circumstances differently, acknowledge feelings in the moment without avoidance). Once this is accomplished, clients fully accept themselves and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, leading to freedom and peace.

Narrative

Narrative Therapy allows clients to see themselves apart from their problems. This approach uses many strategies to challenge learned behaviors and destructive ways of thinking and being, which leads to empowerment. Clients walk away with the ability to control their own stories. Narrative Therapy also incorporates the practice of externalizing feelings. Internalizing leads to unhealthy symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is a style of counseling used to help patients resolve ambivalent feelings and make positive changes in their lives. When clients feel stuck and incapable of making life-changing decisions, this approach empowers them to make informed choices that ultimately decrease symptoms.
