About My Clients
Are you struggling to get past a traumatic event in your life and feel misunderstood by the people around you? Perhaps you've been trying to deal with it on your own, but it's not working. You find yourself stuck in a dark pit struggling to climb out and break free. What you're experiencing is a NORMAL reaction to ABNORMAL experiences! Trauma overwhelms our ability to cope. But the good news is you don't have to suffer forever. I look forward to teaching you skills to overcome these challenges.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is person-centered. Together we'll focus on what brought you into therapy and identify what your goals are. My next step is teaching you about how trauma affects not only one's memories, but also your thoughts, emotions and the body. I want to empower you with knowledge in understanding why you're feeling the way that you are. There's a logic to what you're experiencing, even if it isn't initially clear to you or others. Lastly, we'll work on what you can do to overcome your challenges. I like to empower my clients with a range of coping skills you can have in your "tool belt" that are readily at your disposal whenever you need them so you can be confident that you're able to start feeling better and experience healing and transformation in your life!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I understand no two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand the root cause of your struggles and address those issues with long-lasting strategies, helping you get closer to the life you've always wanted. Additionally, I am a Christ-Follower and enjoy serving my fellow believers who have been shamed into thinking that if they just "pray harder" or "read the Bible more" they'll feel better. While I identify as I Christian I want you to know that I welcome people from all walks of life or faith backgrounds (or lack thereof) and am respectful of other belief systems and will not impose my values on others. I am able to hold space for opposing views and am willing to be challenged in the way I view things as well.
