About My Clients
Are you holding it together on the outside but really struggling inside? Frustrated with trying to “self-help” yourself? If anxiety, relationships, transition, loneliness, lack of purpose or job issues are bricks you carry around making you feel heavy and hopeless, let's set them down for good. Without judgment, we will get right to the heart of that feeling inside - the tiny ball of panic ricocheting around. The heaviness. Let's solve for peace, joy and freedom.
My Background and Approach
What does mental wellness look like to you? Are you building a life worth living or struggling to get through your day? We will identify the disconnects by defining who you really are, what you value, and what you really need. Let's build a strong foundation for boundaries, self-esteem, sound decision making, psychological flexibility and committed action. Weaving in scientifically proven therapeutic methods such as ACT and CBT we will walk a path together starting where you feel is best. Avoiding, denying, and struggling with emotions isn't sustainable. Sometimes these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations. It's your body trying to protect you. Let's work together on you. You can learn to navigate hardships without being overwhelmed and commit to making necessary changes - regardless of what is going on in life and how you feel about it. Please do not wait another day to start your journey. Let's talk today.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I've been a licensed social worker for over 27 years. I believe all humans deserve dignity and respect. My clients describe me as: down to earth, compassionate, patient, comforting, witty, non-judgmental, “get it”, insightful and trustworthy. I am also passionate about nature and volunteer with several environmental groups. It is my dream to integrate psychotherapy and The Great Outdoors. I believe the benefits of being outside enhances the gains of traditional talk therapy. These benefits may be in the form of walking, hiking and/or just immersing oneself in the tranquility of the setting. From the peace gained from simply being in nature to the natural endorphins released during a more strenuous hike, the physical effects of being outside can enhance the therapeutic process. Let's go outside and experience healing in the wild. Learn more about Outdoor Therapy on my site here: chrysalistransformational.com.
