Mindfulness-based Therapy

Mindfulness is about focusing on simplicity by being in the present moment and getting out of our heads where we create stories that are filled with negativity and fearful thoughts.

I can show you a variety of mindfulness-based techniques besides sitting on a pillow and focusing on your breath. It's about staying focused in the moment and clearing the clutter so that we can focus on the essence of who we really are.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Negative thoughts are generated by dysfunctional core beliefs that we all have and the thought that we create determines how we feel. If you can change the stories that you created in your mind around situations that you are strongly holding onto and believe without any evidence of truth to the belief, you will be free from anxiety/depression.

We will identify your core beliefs and the root cause of them when they developed during your upbringing.  We will then replace them as you gain insight.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Motivational interviewing is a counseling technique that will help you resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities about your recovery. We will explore feelings to find your own motivation to change.

Research has shown that this intervention works well when you feel discouraged, unmotivated, stuck, or unprepared for change. If you are motivated to change, I will meet you where you are in your recovery. There is more than one way to recover from addiction.

Pet Grief

When pets die, a human heart will break…. The process of grieving for a beloved companion animal can be truly overwhelming. I provide a compassionate and supportive environment where you can navigate through the pain of losing your pet and come to terms with the emptiness it leaves behind. Your emotions—pain, sorrow, disbelief, frustration, anger—are all vital components of your healing journey. My aim is to equip you with effective tools for managing your emotions and adopting healthy coping strategies as you progress through your grief. I'll guide you in practicing self-care during this difficult period. Additionally, I can assist you in creating a thoughtful plan for the transition of your pet into a peaceful place, allowing you to cultivate serene final memories.The process of grieving is deeply personal, and it unfolds uniquely for each individual. Seeking support in times of loss can significantly reduce the risk of resorting to unhealthy methods of coping, such as falling into depression, overeating, or excessive drinking.Life's beauty is undeniable, and let us join hands in paying tribute to the precious lives of our beloved pets. They've enriched our lives immeasurably, and together, we'll honor their memories.
