Calming body, mind, & emotions with music

I love seeing a redemptive process unfold as people grow through counseling. I am interested in your well-being as a whole person: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational. Each of those areas affects the others, and sometimes several areas need to be addressed. I focus on your unique process, relationships and attachments, emotions, and look at how past experiences impact the present functioning and relationships.

While I work with a wide variety of issues, I am most passionate about guiding people through relational struggles, trauma, and emotional struggles. I received my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2003. Since then, I have pursued additional training in primarily in trauma and relationships. Specific trainings:

Safe and Sound Protocol
EMDR
Abuse Helper's workshop, by Dan Allender
Trauma intensive course, by Bessell van der Kolk
Trauma Competency certification
Externship in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and Filial Therapy
Certified in PREPARE/ENRICH relationship assessment for couples and relationships.

We are made for relationship and attachment, and we all have a core desire to be loved, accepted, and valued. We all also have a core struggle in life, and we seek to solve it sometimes in maladaptive ways that negatively affect self or others. We long for restoration and healing from the past and current pain of life. I believe in redemption, and that counseling is one relationship that can facilitate the path toward hope, peace, joy, love, connection to self and others, and healing from painful life events.

True, deep healing is a process which looks different for each person and can be vary in length depending on your unique journey. Symptoms are not the focus, they are alarms that point to the real, deeper issue. Change comes through understanding the source of the problem, and tending to the needs of our body, mind, and spirit. We also grow when we engage with how we've been affected emotionally and relationally, and in how we respond to what we are experiencing.

To assist with your journey, I may offer you coping skills, offer education, help you express struggles, or occasionally suggest ways to work on things outside of session. Most of all, I provide a place to be real, and where each person is valued. This space is one where you can find freedom and grace in the midst of life messes. We journey together through discovering, learning, processing, growing, and healing in the ways you need.

One specific therapeutic option I can offer to assist change in your healing process is a program called Safe and Sound Protocol. It is a research-based sound therapy that uses specially filtered music to calm the body's nervous system and reduce the fight/flight response. It enables the brain and body to be calmer, which reduces anxiety, sensory sensitivities, mood dysregulation, and auditory processing challenges. SSP increases calmness, relational engagement, positive organization of thought and behavior, mood regulation, and resiliency. This process can be completed in as little as 10 days and as a home therapy with my assistance. It is very helpful for making more rapid progress in Counseling, Occupational Therapy, and other therapies. I can provide this service as your therapist or simply as an SSP provider to support other therapies you are using.

If what I have shared about deep, whole-person care resonates with you, please call and I will answer any questions you have and see if it is right for you. I look forward to journeying with you!
