For some people, it is easy to ask for help & for others, it is extremely difficult. You might be struggling with managing difficult behaviors with your child & unsure of how to help them. You might question whether you should even come to counseling because you are not sure if what you are going through is "really bad enough" compared to others. Maybe you have done counseling before and did not feel it helped. Counseling is about learning how to manage difficult feelings as they arise. Mental health is not linear, & ups and downs will happen in the course of life, so it helps to have someone to listen when they are struggling. I am trauma-focused, strengths based, I believe in building a trusting therapeutic relationship through conversation and activities. I utilize an integrative approach to meet my clients where they are at emotionally; however, I am trained in TF-CBT, EMDR, play therapy interventions, and sand tray, which are effective in treating a wide-range of concerns. I am here to listen, validate, & accept without judgement. I recognize the emotional needs of my clients and inherent worth of all people. We all come from different experiences that make us truly unique. If you are ready to start counseling, I am ready to join you on your journey or available for a free 15-minute phone consult to answer questions!
