You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders. I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders. Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is about normalizing the therapeutic process and setting the stage for us to build a relationship as a client and therapist. My intention to to set the framework that this is your therapy and we will work together to address the issues that you feel are the most important. I will always ask for clarification or correction on your part if anything I offer may not resonate with your experience. This is about self exploration at it's core and trusting a therapist to listen to things you may not be willing to share with anyone else. The therapy room is a sacred place for you and it is my honor to hold that space in your pursuit of healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in the service of others for over 30 years. Having experienced trauma in various forms, seeking my own therapy and educating myself about PTSD, I am able to maintain a steady and reassuring presence while joining with clients in their trauma work. I'm passionate about helping others pursuing and celebrating their own healing and breakthroughs.
