Individual Counseling
Whether you are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, stuck, or adjusting to life's stressors, I provide one-on-one therapy with compassion and an unbiased perspective. Talk therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Brainspotting, and Self Meaning Based Therapy is utilized in sessions for greater results.
Couples Counseling
I help couples explore their unique negative cycle that leave them feeling stuck, frustrated, and powerless with providing awareness in personal "me" experiences affecting the "we" in your relationship. Once we address your cycle you can break predictable patterns and start a new cycle that leaves you feeling connected. I also provide support with attachment injuries and emotional repairs when broken trust or breakdowns in communication occurs.
Family Counseling
Working with nuclear and blended families (including military families) to develop the best possible outcomes during situational stressors, life transitions, power struggles, and preparation/reunification regarding deployments.
Emotional Focused Therapy
I have advanced training in Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) which targets emotional experiences, held beliefs, and ways of coping front and center. It is based on Attachment Theory with the importance placed on connection to others as a source to feelings of comfort and safety, fostering a vehicle for growth and development. Sessions focus on the specific cycle and pattern in your relationship, predictability, and common themes affecting emotional safety in relationships.
Brainspotting
I have extensive training in Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerfully focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological discomforts of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms through fixating on specific eye positions. Each "brainspot" is linked to uncover areas of the brain that retain thoughts and emotions stored from past negative associations and traumas.
Self Meaning Therapy
I am certified in Self Meaning Based Therapy (SMB-T) where we uncover and discover deeper held unconscious beliefs about yourself, others, and the world which was developed early in direct relationships with primary caregivers. These beliefs you carry pervasively influence and suffer in your relationships and ,once accessed, can create new patterns and reset those beliefs that lead to psychological freedom.
Self-Esteem Building
How you identify, speak, and relate in the world is primarily made up in the beliefs attributed to other's thoughts, expectations, and influences throughout your life. You are capable of amazing things and focusing on new lenses and your impact on the world changes through awareness of these learned beliefs and replacing with more accurate and updated versions of your self, relationships, and environments.
Life Transitions
Life is a series of adjustments and transitions, some more difficult than others. Divorce, moving, death of a loved one, or conflict with co-workers undoubtedly affect your quality of life. Learn effective communication skills, setting boundaries, coping skills, and increasing your self care while navigating these varied stressors.
