About My Clients
Are you struggling with symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Anger, ADHD or PTSD related to relationships with friends or family members? During our initial sessions, while building rapport, we will investigate issues at hand, and collaborate to develop treatment goals/objectives for addressing them. Establishing safety and stabilization of symptoms is typically one of the first goals. My clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
My Background and Approach
For over a decade I have enjoyed working with clientele in all walks of life. As a veteran’s wife/ blended family, I’ve had the joy of raising 6 children which has given me vast experience managing the challenges found in modern families. Seeking therapy takes a lot of courage. I can help you process traumatic memories while building coping skills that help you with self-regulation when trauma symptoms flare. These coping skills are discreet so you may practice them anywhere to quickly create relief. I am Chronic Pain/Chronic Fatigue informed. Challenging or traumatic experiences in life can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, anger or lack of motivation/direction. I personalize your treatment to your individual concerns using CBT, DBT, Trauma Focused CBT, Mindfulness, Polyvagal and EMDR techniques amongst others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. Through my own therapy to heal from complex trauma, chronic fatigue/pain, and move through the grief process after losing my mother to pancreatic cancer, I learned how to handle my PTSD symptoms from a violent marriage and move past it so it doesn’t have control over me. This was what impassioned me to become a Trauma Therapist. My goal is to Inspire Hope, Cultivate Resilience, and Empower You to walk through your journey towards inner peace and true joy.
