I’ve made my way through “Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” and it was one of the most poignant psychology books I’ve read. Wish it had been mandatory reading in my graduate program as it reveals the impacts of interpersonal trauma often overlooked in childhood. Now I only have 13 days to make it through Walker’s other book, “The Tao of Fully Feeling”. Both books are available as an audiobook on Spotify, and “CPTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” was made freely available on YouTube by some renegade. If your experience in therapy left you feeling worse off, or you have been seeking answers to mental health symptoms you’ve dealt with since “forever”, please consider Pete Walker’s books.

Our thoughts have a great impact on how we feel and how we behave. When you treat these negative thoughts as facts, you may see yourself and act in a way based on maladaptive assumptions.

Finding the right therapist is a time-consuming process, but vital for a positively impactful experience with therapy. Allow me to share some information upfront with you:

I provide 50-minute Individual Psychotherapy sessions for teens (13-18), young adults, and adults. I do not provide couples or family counseling. My approach draws from:
-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
-Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
-Mindfulness and Somatic-based Therapy
-IFS/Parts Work
-Trauma Informed
-Strengths-based and client-centered.

People I am a Good Fit For ✨

-Those that struggle with anxiety, stress, and worry.
-Those described with high-functioning anxiety.
-People with a history of trauma or raised in a dysfunctional family that find it hard to trust themselves or others close to them (attachment struggles).
-Relationship problems.
-Depression.
-Panic Attacks.
-Phobias.
-Significant life changes, including grief, divorce etc.
-Those who have a ~willingness~ to be vulnerable with trusted people.
-Those who are ~willing~ to build a tolerance for getting out of their head and into their emotional experience. (Even if you have not been successful with this yet). ✨

June 13th, 2020 - I graduated with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. 3 years later, I’m already a year into one of my proudest achievements as a practitioner and the owner of .side.therapy

Life really comes at you quickly. Enjoy the ride, set goals, and have faith in yourself in times of uncertainty.

A Therapeutic Space: a room in which there is a noticable shift in pacing. It invites you to slow down. The room is clean, orderly, yet there is a familiarity about it. It offers safety and comfort. You may notice yourself sighing more. Finally, at long last, relaxed. It’s from this space healing is possible. You are absolutely present, knowing there is mutual trust and freedom from judgment. It’s the safe haven from which you can explore and reflect upon your journey thus far in this wild, bittersweet, and beautiful life.

Valentine’s Day Reminder: Your most important relationship will always be with yourself. Your capacity for self-love greatly determines the quality of the rest of your relationships. Let today be the day you start speaking to yourself with compassion & encouragement rather than criticism.
