Anxiety, grief, trauma, self-doubt, or relationship issues? These are hard to navigate alone; I partner with you to sort through difficult themes to increase everyday coping. My background is with couples, individuals, children, and parents. I specialize working alongside people diagnosed with serious, life limiting illnesses (specifically cancer) and their caregivers, as well those grieving a loss. Another niche of my practice is medical professionals, residents/fellows, and those with high stress, demanding careers. Couple counseling and relational work is also a predominate area of focus in my practice. I use validation, humor, education, and honest communication to explore emotions and develop a secure, comfortable space. In sessions, I help my clients reflect on current stressors and soothe past hurts. Throughout sessions, clients connect emotionally, establish new patterns of interaction, and re-develop a secure base with loved ones. I draw from a range of clinical approaches to promote insight, healing, and access emotions. I'm an Emotion Focused Therapist and a Certified Gottman Therapist. I also use a trauma informed lens and utilize EMDR to improve daily coping. Website: whitwonderwisdomcounseling.org
