Asking for help is sometimes difficult, and also powerful. Daily struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts can become overwhelming. Complex trauma, substance use, eating disorders, unhealthy relationships, are among a few that can also keep us from our authentic self. In order to survive through all of this and keep going, it is common to adapt in ways that end up no longer working. We need help. That help comes from recognizing the gifts we have in ourselves and getting the gifts of others. My gift is to help others with aligning the head and the heart while healing to recognize authentic self.
I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing, as well as DBT skills trained. I have worked for several years in residential treatment in which my focuses were in substance use, trauma, co-occurring disorders, and eating disorders. I believe in the 12-steps focus on recovery, but also believe in finding a path that works for you.
I believe in focusing on the strengths of a client, while also using a gentle approach to be direct and honest. If you are still reading, thank you.
