Adult Counseling
What is counseling?
The counseling relationship is unlike any relationship you have probably had. You can expect warmth and caring from me. You can expect some education regarding how the brain and body are reacting to your specific history and current circumstances. We will do a lot of talking to come up with the best next steps for you.
What issues do you treat?
Anxiety
Perfectionism
Trauma processing
Grief
Depression
Divorce/Life Changes
Dissociative Disorders
What techniques do you use?
Every person is unique, so I use techniques from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support clients as they learn healthier and more helpful ways of coping with the stresses of life. I will encourage you to pay attention to what your body is telling you about what it needs--movement, rest, social connectedness, time alone, water, food, etc. Our bodies are wise and can provide us with a lot of information so long as we are paying attention. I understand this is difficult for many clients as they begin counseling, so we will work towards more awareness throughout the process.
