Compassion combined with evidence based trauma informed psychotherapy for PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and a myriad of other mental health concerns.

Goals
The main goal of therapy is to explore the areas of our mind that we have shut off or shut down in order to survive and accomplish the tasks at hand. Being cut off and disconnected are risk factors for suicide, depression, anxiety, and exacerbation of many other underlying issues. Therefore, in therapy we seek to reconnect both within our own mind and body healing as well as connecting to others again. To maximize the effects of psychotherapy, my main goals for this practice are as follows:
01.
–
Create Collaborative Treatment Plans - We develop and discuss our treatment plan before and during treatment.
02.
–
Maintain dignity and respect for each other and each of our human qualities.
03.
–
Challenge each other to push beyond what we thought was possible.
04.
–
Healing is not a one time event; it is something that slowly occurs through hard work, kindness, flexibility, and openness.
““Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Live the questions now. Perhaps you will gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. “ ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet”
