ADULT THERAPY
Do you lie awake at night feeling helpless and hopeless, find it hard to get out of bed in the morning to function and be an active participant in your own life?
Maybe you are very hard on yourself and tell yourself you are no good.
Or have you experienced a traumatic event in your past or ongoing trauma that causes you to repeat the same difficult patterns, and keeps you feeling hopeless?
Depression, anxiety, and trauma can be debilitating.
You don’t have to struggle and suffer alone anymore. I can help you get to the root of the problem at your own pace and thrive. You do deserve happiness even if that inner voice says you don’t.
You are a good fit to work with me if you have experienced any of the following:
-
Self-sabotage, self-criticism, inner conflict, and negative self-worth
-
Parenting complicated children and parenting children who have been in residential treatment
-
Being the adult child of narcissistic parents
-
Life changes/life transitions, such as menopause, divorce, post-partum, or empty nest
-
Struggling to regulate your emotions - whether it be anger, depression, or anxiety
-
Disordered eating such as emotional eating, restrictive eating, or binge eating
Together, in a non-judgemental, supportive environment, we can explore inner turmoil and patterns that get you into trouble. Knowledge is strength. Strength and knowledge provide the ability to make good choices.
My treatment style is eclectic and customized to the person I am working with. Types of treatment I use include:
-
Psychodynamic work and/or pyschoanalysis
-
Cognitive-behavioral work (CBT)
-
Mindfulness
-
EMDR for trauma
-
Meditation and journeying (using active imagination to heal trauma, illness, and reset the nervous system)
-
Alternative energy work (such as reiki)
-
Hypnosis
It’s normal to be hesitant about therapy at first.
Think about therapy as an investment in you and your family. You deserve to have a solid foundation that you can draw on for the rest of your life. Ask yourself if making the time to understand yourself and have the life that you deserve is worth the investment. If you think you don’t deserve to have a life, why is that?
It’s also normal to worry about what will happen once you start therapy.
People often feel this way, worried that pain will come to the surface and will overwhelm and keep them from being able to function, lose control, or that they will have to make difficult decisions that they are better off avoiding. The opposite is true.
As you get to know yourself better, together we will build an inner foundation of strength and resilience so that you will be able to bear whatever it is that needs to be known and understood, at your pace, so that you can choose the life that you want sooner than later, and have the tools you need for the trajectory of your life.
Feel free to contact me for a free initial phone conversation.
I'm happy to think together about how you want to proceed on your own or with some guidance.
