Life provides a multitude of circumstances that can stir up feelings of worry, insecurity, loss, frustration, and even hopelessness. We can carry many of these unprocessed emotions with us for longer than needed, and often create core beliefs about ourselves and others, that lead us to make decisions we rarely are happy with. As a counselor, I am passionate about helping my clients with rooting their identity and understanding in truth, pruning the distractions and unhealthy behaviors keeping them from growing, and nurturing healthy, holistic habits that lead to healthier and more enjoyable experiences and relationships. My therapy is based in DBT, CBT, and EFT. The objectives for my clients are to: 1) Assist them in understanding their current situation, 2) Develop an awareness of their internal dialogue, 3) Increase understanding of their emotions and thoughts, 4) Teach them how to develop safe and trusting relationships and effective communication skills. We all struggle with the stress of life and question whether we can really afford to take time to care for ourselves. Many of us just put our heads down and keep plowing through, but then fail to actually enjoy our life. My passion, as a counselor, is to help my clients enjoy their lives to the fullest, and I would love to help you enjoy yours as well!
