Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy helps people understand themselves and others, and how to navigate life's difficulties. It's a deep dive into awareness, problematic behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and compulsions, to improve functionality, relationships, and social skills.
Integrative Nutritional Therapies for Mental Health
This integrates psychotherapy with
strategies to address the microbiome (Gut health), Mind-Body Techniques, sleep problems, mood-boosting exercise strategies that WORK, recognizing
nutritional deficiencies, key nutrients for pain control, mood, attention and
cognition, hormone issues, and diet-based relapse prevention strategies.
ADHD Testing & Therapies
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the current term for a specific developmental disorder seen in both children and adults that is comprised of deficits in behavioral inhibition, sustained attention and resistance to distraction, and the regulation of one’s activity level to the demands of a situation. Testing and skill development are available.
Motherhood Mentoring
As a therapist and the mom of 4 adult kids, I enjoy teaching younger women how to train their children in "the way they should go" (PR 10:1).
Mother Mentoring offers counseling for mothers to enjoy motherhood with a plan & purpose for intentional parenting
EMDR & Brainspotting
Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR)is an eye-movement therapy for mental health conditions occurring due to memories from past traumatic events. It treats trauma of any kind like PTSD, abuse, Adverse Childhood Experiences, accidents, the shock of illness, etc.
Brainspotting is used for the same purpose of neutralizing negative emotions and activating emotional regulation.
Pastoral/Christian Counseling
You matter to God
Many women of faith choose a counselor with the same worldview. You can choose to integrate Bibical principle into your counseling for a pastoral counseling method or integrate research-based psychological treatments with a Biblical world view.
