Are you feeling stuck or having difficulty changing patterns? Do you experience depression, anxiety, chronic pain, low self-esteem, repetitive behaviors, impacts of abuse or relationship difficulties that seems to overshadow your day? Let's work together to identify core negative beliefs that keep you from the life you want. Are you dealing with Trauma that is limiting your interactions with others, sleep disturbance, emotional numbing, avoidance or causing problems in your relationships? Would you be relieved to know there is a way to resolve trauma without talking about it? It has been my privilege to work with Veterans, Active Duty Service Members and their spouses for the last five years. Working with combat Veterans and survivors of Military Sexual Trauma with PTSD, CPTSD, Depression and Anxiety brought understanding of the need to use interventions that were less traumatizing. Please inquire about special funding available for counseling for Veterans. As a therapist, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which uses the science of your brain and imagery to help resolve negative body sensations associated with stuck emotions and images. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to be heard. Mind, Body and Soul connections are important to healing. Let's discover if your identity includes negative messages that you have come to believe are true. For those wishing to increase Soul connections we can work to consider your value system to increase alignment with your behaviors. Each person has the option as to whether to include spirituality as part of their treatment. For persons desiring to incorporate Christian principles and spiritual coping skills into your therapy experience, I am a believer and would be honored to encourage you on your journey. I also use EMDR Therapy, Breathing and Relaxation skills, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you find new ground. I am trained in Gottman Method for couples counseling. This method is based on five decades of research into relationships. This method introduces conflict resolutions skills and helps form new habits to improve relationships. Offering intensives as a way to move through therapy quicker. For example, you could do 2 months of therapy in one day. These sessions are cash pay as insurance companies don't cover intensives.
