Therapeutic Services
I believe we all have the ability to heal our mind, body and spirit. Seeking support on our wellness journey is an often challenging, yet courageous process. The discomfort caused by remaining in patterns that are not serving us can lead toward taking steps to try something different. We can work together to create sustainable change through understanding your unique journey and uncovering strengths and solutions.
Psychotherapy
We seek therapy for various reasons across the lifespan. In a safe and supportive environment, therapy offers an opportunity to explore patterns, empowers us to find our authenticity and provides strategies and solutions to apply in our day to day lives outside of session.
Addictions Recovery
Addiction impacts multiple life areas and results in continued suffering and undesirable consequences. Recovery is deeper than stopping an addictive substance or behavior; it involves building a foundation to heal our mind, body and spirit. There are multiple pathways to recovery and sometimes we feel overwhelmed with which path to take. Therapy provides a space to explore your specific journey and find the path that leads to your personal recovery goals.
Sand Play Therapy
Sand Play is a “hands on” therapeutic intervention utilizing symbolism and archetypes. Sand Play allows youth to process their experiences in a developmentally appropriate way, but can also be beneficial for adolescents and adults. This technique provides a visual projection of our inner world and is effective in processing trauma.
Walk and Talk
Walk and Talk Therapy is an optional service that takes the session outdoors. Some find the physical movement of walking and side by side discussion more desirable than the office setting. Walk and Talk benefits may include movement and nature, however, it also comes with risks of the outdoors as well as potentially less confidentiality.
Children and Teens
Supporting children and teens includes supporting the entire family system. It is important to understand youth through a developmentally appropriate lens to support their unique needs. I specialize in adolescent substance use disorder, behavioral challenges, self esteem and other mental health treatment areas.
Telehealth
Telehealth, or virtual sessions, became popular during the pandemic. Some may still choose virtual options for convenience or do a hybrid of in person and virtual.
Trauma
Evidence supports that traumatic experiences are stored within our bodies and as Judith Herman states, “overwhelms the ordinary human adaptations to life." As a trauma professional, I incorporate a somatic approach for healing.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy utilizing eye positioning to tap into our body's natural ability to heal. By scanning the visual field, we directly target the source of emotion and sensation within the body. Allowing the brain to maintain focus where the trauma is stored promotes processing, releasing and healing.
Reiki
Reiki, commonly referred to as energy healing or a massage for the soul, is a Japanese technique which promotes healing through relaxation. Reiki can improve our wellbeing by channeling restorative energy through the body and shifting our energy into balance.
