Services
Individual & Marriage Counseling
My aim is to equip you with tools and help you grow, ultimately flourish into an amazing relationship with yourself and others. I take an approach that is listening and empathetic...but listening alone isn't usually enough, people need feedback and insight to uncover what's keeping them stuck, finding that hidden key that leads to freedom.
Addiction Counseling
Find the root cause, learn to lovingly deal with it and free yourself from the prison of addiction. It takes time, it takes patience, but it's possible and I'll believe in you.
PTSD Therapy
Traumatic life events happen and the brain needs help sorting out what to hold onto and what to release. I bring an arsenal of tools to the table that have a proven track record of effectiveness, and while challenging, PTSD does not need to run your life.
Modern therapies for better outcomes
Schedule
Havening
Havening is a newer therapy technique that incorporates distraction, touch and eye movements, ultimately reducing anxiety. Specifically, it is part of a larger group of methods called psychosensory therapies, which use sensory input to alter thought, mood, and behaviour.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the skill of actively staying open and attentive to the present. Ultimately, being able to observe one’s thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad.
Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a type of therapy for people who experience emotions very deeply and intensely (as we say in the office, your feelings have feelings). If this sounds like you, DBT will provide you with a set of tools to cope with these intense moments.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A type of therapy that helps people understand how thoughts affect emotions and behaviors.
