Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), Psychotherapist
I specialize PTSD and anxiety as a result of trauma. I help people get their happiness and control back from their childhood or overwhelming events.
Every day I am reminded that crappy things happen to good people and we have absolutely no control over it. It sucks. And it is not fair. I believe trauma is likely the underlying reason you are seeking therapy today. I define "trauma" as any threat to our system that we were not prepared or equipped to handle. It is at the root of many presenting issues and disorders, including anxiety. I have been in the mental health field for 20+ years and have been working with anxiety and trauma since 1998. I work best with people who are tired of being anxious and unhappy and who are willing to do the work it takes to feel better. I use EMDR therapy and other advanced methods to get to the root of your symptoms. This deeper therapy is known to have lasting results (not a Band-Aid!). My therapy is Change Therapy, not Support Therapy. I am not the kind of therapist who will simply nod my head and listen. I provide therapy unique to you. I will listen intently and help you gain understanding. I may gently point out your blind spots. I offer mental health expertise and tools to help you feel better long-term so the same issues do not keep reappearing. Examples of these tools include boundary setting, self-care strategies, mindfulness, communication skills, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Getting started is simple: Instead of playing phone tag, visit my website and self- schedule a free phone consult. Or, you are welcome to call anytime: 740-274-9283.
