You matter
because you exist.
My specialties, where I do my best work
01 — Trauma Treatment
Trauma is simply the bad things that have left a negative impression on you and is getting in the way of you living your life. I am trained in several methods and will tailor a plan to help you calm your nervous system and live your best life.
02 — Grief/loss treatment
When we say grief, most understand that to mean a loved one has passed, which is part of the equation. People also experience grief/loss with major life changes, we have seen this with people losing their jobs, businesses, daily routines, etc… Good news is that you can process these circumstances and find your new normal.
03 — Depression
Depression encompasses a range from mild to severe, and unique characteristics that distin featurequish subtypes of disorders. With the current state of affairs in our world right now, uh pandemic, many people who are not familiar with depression are now familiar with depression, and the mental/physical pain that often comes with that.
04 — Low self worth/regard
Do you feel like people don’t listen to you, that you don’t matter, and that you are not capable? Don’t worry I can help you understand how common distortions are skewing your reality in a negative self defeating way. You can find a more reality based way of thinking and become comfortable with the gray areas of life, those spaces where the “right” choice isn’t obvious, and be comfortable in that space.
My methods.
Brainspotting - A gentle type of alternative therapy that uses a specific focal point in a person’s visual field, that they can observe to help them process trauma. It accesses trauma trapped in the subcortical brain, the area of the brain responsible for motion, consciousness, emotions, and learning. For more information visit https://brainspotting.com/about-bsp/what-is-brainspotting/
Trauma Art Narrative Therapy - A short intervention that helps clients heal major shock trauma events (the big “T” traumas) in a structured way of drawing/retelling the story. Before this is done, we will work on building resiliency and assess for adequate coping skills before intervention is performed.
Cognitive Processing Therapy - A structured 12 week program where you will learn the skills to refute negative automatic thoughts that are blocking you from your best life.
