Mother. Teacher. Fellow pilgrim.
When I was in my 20’s, therapy saved my marriage. That’s when I became a believer in its effectiveness for people who need anything from a little clarity to major life strategies.
Most of my life has been about being a mother, wife, and teacher of children whom society deems “at-risk.” I spent many years as a classroom educator and special education instructor.
There are a lot of things I want to do in life, and helping people who struggle is one of them.
COUNSELING FOR INDIVIDUALS
Life can leave you feeling hurt, angry, or betrayed. The first step of your journey is to allow someone else to know you at a heart level. Having someone to walk beside you as you work through symptoms of depression or trauma is an invaluable tool. I would love to help you create strategies to cope with negative issues when they arise.
OVERCOMING TRAUMA
Everybody struggles at times, but some people have faced events that significantly exceed typical down times. Whether it is due to abuse, neglect, death, illness, combat, or a host of other issues, trauma often affects our mental and physical selves in unpredictable and unexpected ways. For those living with trauma, becoming our best selves requires strategies for coping with and overcoming the past to find our bright tomorrows.
RELATIONSHIP HEALING
Relationship dynamics can be complicated. However, once our behavior and interpersonal connections are understood, we can begin to have productive and honest conversations with those we love. This process often involves discovering and articulating feelings and emotions we didn't even know we had. One thing is certain--healthy relationships require us to connect rather than disconnect when times get tough. Therapy can help uncover that path.
"Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause and not the symptom."
