Therapists » Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Have you been struggling with emotions that feel outside of your control? Are you having difficulties making the changes you want to make? Sometimes the tools that used to work just don't cut it anymore. I work with clients to help them take care of themselves, tolerate stress in new ways, and make changes toward the lives they want. I also serve fellow therapists who have, understandably, recognized their own need for support in unprecedented times. Where appropriate, I provide self pay Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to help clients explore pieces of their stories they may not otherwise be able to access with talk therapy alone. I help clients learn skills to slow down and self-regulate, and then to tune into emotional parts that often go ignored. Sometimes this involves exploring things from the past that have kept clients bogged down. I use mindfulness techniques and EMDR from a systems approach to help clients reduce stress and unload some of the baggage they often carry. It is all to easy to wind up feeling stuck, but I believe that we each have the capacity to support ourselves regardless of where we come from or what happens in the world around us. Change is scary and uncertain. Taking a step to care for ourselves brings us closer to something better, even if we can’t know what that is yet. Let me know how I can help.
