My goal is to help clients find a path that works best for their individual goals through acceptance, collaboration and a little bit of humor along the way. I have experience working client's struggling with symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and testing and sports performance. I believe our brains and bodies are wired for protection. Sometimes they go overboard in trying to keep us safe, which leave us feeling either stuck/frozen or very activated/anxious. Awareness, learning new skills, and retraining your body and brain, can help reduce these responses and increase feelings of happiness, relaxation and connection. I am a certified EMDR therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This form of treatment helps our brain process the negative emotions and physical sensations we carry and help let our brain know we do not always need to be on high alert. It can help release long stored negative beliefs you hold and increase positive self-regard. Deciding to start counseling can be intimidating but can also be incredibly rewarding. If you feel like I would be a good fit for you, I offer free 15-minute consultations via phone or telehealth. Whether you choose me or another counselor, keep going, you are taking important steps and you can do this!
