“It Hurts But It Heals Too”

Life can be hard and just "raggedy" at times. I know and I get it. For some, reaching out for help is the last thing you may want to do but I would love to walk with you on your journey to healing. Would you believe me if I told you that the answers you are seeking are already within you? I will merely be your guide and safe place to allow you to discover these answers. There is so much more in store for you versus the current narrative you have been rehearsing to yourself.

I have a passion for “meeting people where they are” by providing crisis management, solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe in providing quality services and working with those by addressing a wide range of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, poor self-esteem and stress management.

I believe that therapy can assist one with identifying the root of recurring issues that challenges one’s well being by developing healthy coping skills and gaining awareness. 

As I began the process of starting my practice, I knew that the name had to represent the services I wanted to provide. I believe that coping skills are good and needed for many situations. However, identifying the root of the thing is essential in healing trauma. How did we get here? When did this start? This is how we heal the root of a thing. Have you ever pulled off a piece of a plant but noticed the remainder continued to grow? Imagine if you were to pull it up from the root. It is now completely displaced. Healing roots aren't easily done. Sometimes it may even feel like heart surgery but there is safety in allowing someone trained and compassionate to do the work WITH you. There is more to life than placing a bandage over something that needs root healing. You've been coping but have you been healing? 

Let's talk today.
