If you’re experiencing lack of connection or difficult communication with your spouse …
I can help! I use John and Julie Gottman’s couples therapy method to create and restore healthy marriages. This research-based technique helps to increase intimacy, uses tools to increase communication and manage conflict, and create purpose for your relationship. Creating a game plan to turn your marriage from one filled with tension to a healthy, thriving relationship is my goal.
If memories of experiences of pain, abuse, or trauma are haunting you even today …
Experiences of trauma can leave an imprint on us for years after they’ve happened. For some, this means you’ve been carrying the weight and burden of pain with you for years. I can help you process through that trauma and experience freedom from the lasting thoughts, beliefs, and images that may linger in your mind and experience and influence your everyday emotions and interactions with others.
If you are troubled by addictive behaviors …
Addictive behaviors are more common than expected, but the shame surrounding these behaviors silences many of those who struggle. If this is your struggle, know that you are not alone and that there are resources and help out there for you. I would love to walk alongside you, providing freedom from the ties that bind you.
If you find yourself obsessing over anxious thought and worries …
Overwhelming worries and thoughts can take their toll on your body and mind, leading to exhaustion, stress, and depression. I can teach strategies to take ownership over your thoughts and concerns, ways to reduce that anxiety, and strategies for keeping your stress levels at a manageable level for you.
If you find yourself not enjoying the things you used to …
When life stops feeling as fun as it used to, this can often be a symptom of depression. Working together, we can bring back life and enjoyment to those things you used to love, as well as explore and adapt thought patterns that will contribute to your happy life.
If your family is experiencing tension or conflict …
Families are not given an instruction manual on how to handle the tantrums of toddlerhood or the angst of adolescence. Add to this the strain it puts on marriages as well as unique challenges of divorced parents, stepfamilies, and single parents, and it can be confusing to figure out the best way to handle family conflict. We can work together to discover the best ways to have everyone’s voice in your family heard and understood, while still supporting the parents’ decisions.
If your pain has caused you to feel lost spiritually …
Oftentimes, while walking through painful seasons in life, it can be difficult to remain connected to your faith. God can feel distant and hard to trust when our life circumstances are confusing and upsetting. I will encourage you to press into the doubts and fears you have in your faith, and help you find ways to grow and experience relationship with God in the midst of your pain.
If the idea of being “stuck inside an office” for a therapy session is intimidating to you …
Getting outside for a Walk-Talk session allows us to incorporate nature and movement into the healing process. Let’s take therapy off the couch! This type of therapy offers an opportunity to reduce stress, relieve body tension, improve circulation, breathe deep, and clear the body-mind of intrusive, negative, and ruminative thoughts and sensations.
If you feel like “talk therapy” is not enough to help you feel better …
I also use EMDR therapy and LENS Neurofeedback approaches to treatment for deep and lasting healing for people struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, chronic stress and more. The combination of these approaches helps clients to stabilize quicker, be able to do the “work” of therapy, feel more resilient to stressors and sustain greater long-term treatment outcomes when therapy is over. I want to provide you with hope that healing can take place for you, that you can recover from painful life events, and that your life can be transformed.
