MY SPECIALTIES
Counseling for Adults
I desire to help men and women feel safe, explore their stories, discover healing from their trauma, and learn calming skills to live life in the present-moment.
Attachment and Adoption
Understanding the developmental process of attachment and the early experiences that shaped a person's life is like examining a house and it's foundation. Considering a person's foundation can open up volumes of understanding as it relates to an individual's current choices, behaviors, and functioning. Trauma and insults to attachment can be extremely damaging, but relational regulation, mindfulness, consistent family bonding, and intentional love and healing can overcome and prove to be an even more powerful force in an individual or a family!
Couples Therapy
It is important for couples to understand one another's trauma history, as well as the triggers that so easily derail conversations. In therapy, couples will learn to identify their pain cycles, the truth that empowers, and newly-created peace cycles to foster a deeper relationship. Each partner will also learn to employ boundaries in the relationship and individual practices that promote self-regulation and healthy communication.
Men's Issues
It is my desire to counsel men in an atmosphere of safety, respect, and support. Men often battle shame and loneliness in their lives. My purpose is to assist men in exploring their stories, discovering healing for their pain, and courageously employing new skills that promote healthy relationships, communication, and daily choices.
Parenting consultation and counseling
Parenting is a noble endeavor, but let's face it - parenting is hard! I offer counseling that focuses on strengthening the relationship and building skills to parent from a calm, kind, and confident place.
Children and Adolescents
I specialize in counseling children and adolescents from a trauma-informed, developmentally-appropriate, and regulation-focused perspective.
Trauma, PTSD, EMDR Therapy
I provide a trauma-informed approach to assist in the exploration of the trauma, as well as in the treatment of trauma. Facilitated in a safe, respectful environment, EMDR Therapy and mindfulness practices can help the client experience freedom, healing, and empowerment as they seek to calm down the triggers and live life with new tools, skills, and peace.
Family Therapy
In family therapy, each member of the family will have the opportunity to gain new insight into the patterns and trauma experiences that have caused emotional wounds and mistrust in the family system. Self-regulation and respectful communication skills will be practiced in the session to strengthen new rhythms and routines at home.
Counseling for Pastors, Ministry Staff, and their Families
Pastors, ministry staff, and ministry families focus a great deal of effort on helping others, and as a result, often neglect their own needs or the needs of their families. I provide counseling in an empathic environment where ministers and their families can feel supported, share their hurts, and explore new skills to develop healthy communication, realistic boundaries, and forgiveness practices in everyday life.
Anxiety, Depression, and Stress
There is so much to manage in these uncertain and stressful times. I utilize a variety of strategies, including mindfulness and self-regulation to help individuals manage and navigate anxiety, depression, and stress.
