Life can be so hard and unmanageable, whether it is disappointments that have grown into depression, worries that have become crippling anxieties, or past traumas that affect us day to day. So many people feel stuck, thinking their life will always feel this way. Each of us has something in our lives that is holding us back, a limit often based on beliefs we formed in a moment of crisis or when we were small children. Those limiting beliefs bring instability, leaving us feeling broken, unable to see a way forward.
I help people uncover their limits, examine the consequences of continuing to live without change. I use therapy techniques that invoke healing from within; the solutions and strength are inside each of us, just waiting to be tapped into. I create an environment where my clients are able to uncover often unconscious limitations and reveal the limitless potential that each person has.
As a disabled veteran I felt broken, but I knew things could be better. I became a motivational speaker and published author. I went back to school for my education, graduating from Idaho State University with a Masters in Social Work where I learned how to help others overcome the struggles of mental illness. I have crafted myself to be the easygoing, fun loving person I knew I could be. I utilize my toolbox of evidence based therapy modalities to facilitate change for others.
Therapies offered: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a therapy that uses the brain’s natural healing process to change our reactions to trauma; CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) looks at how our thoughts influence how we feel and the world we live in. I help people replace the less healthy coping skills they have with skills that build a life that one doesn't feel like they have to escape from. Plus many other therapeutic approaches in order to provide a personalized therapy experience. I do play therapy with pre-teens and teens and as a self proclaimed nerd, relate well with younger clients as well.
If you want something different than what you have in life, come visit with me and start living your ideal life.
