General Counseling Practice
Do disturbing memories and uncomfortable feelings from yesterday's
distressing life experience/s continue to arise and keep you from fully seeing
and living today? Are you afraid these thoughts and feelings are unchangeable
and define who you are? I will help guide you from merely surviving toward
thriving. You and I will accomplish this through a therapeutic partnership with
the goal of reducing the influence of lingering memories and assisting you to
identify and develop positive coping mechanisms.
Like a cut that naturally heals, disturbances from life events can move naturally toward healthy resolution. To help, we may utilize: Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (Certified EMDR Therapist); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (identifies & modifies distorted thinking); Mindfulness Therapy (corrects automatic reactions by practice of noticing/accepting vs. judging/rejecting thoughts & feelings).
My overall goal as a therapist is to assist you in choosing your response rather than choice-lessly reacting to your thoughts, your feelings and the people and world around you. I welcome you - and whatever issues you bring.
