Absolutely!!!

You don’t have to match anyone’s pace.
You don’t owe anyone constant access.
You don’t have to rush just because someone else is uncomfortable with stillness.

Protect your peace.
It’s not selfish — it’s sacred.

Hi!

I’m currently welcoming new clients for November and December, and would love to connect with you - even if it's just for a free consultation!

A bit about me: I specialize in EMDR therapy, a powerful approach that helps people process trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions in a safe, supportive way.

Feel free to connect with me via email, website, or phone to see if there's a possibility of working together!

💻 Sessions are available online or in-person

Healing isn't linear, and struggling doesn't mean you're failing.

For World Mental Health Day, let's take a moment to pause, breathe, and check in with ourselves.

It's okay to not be okay, and remember that each new morning means you're already trying.

The quiet seasons matter just as much as the busy ones. Keep going, growth is happening - even if you can't see it!

In the wake of the recent shootings in the Reno area that claimed the lives of two members of our community, we want to offer information about traumatic grief and provide support for anyone affected by violent death.

Grief can impact you deeply if you knew those who were killed, if you're connected to their families or friends, or if you’re part of their wider community.

And grief can also affect you even if you didn’t know them personally—violent loss in our community can stir feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and helplessness.

Join us for Healing Together: A Community Education Evening on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at 6:00 PM.

We’ll talk about the unique ways grief shows up after trauma, offer tools to help you navigate it, and connect you with local resources and professionals who can walk alongside you.

🗣 Featuring:
• Norine Vanderhooven, LCSW – Trauma/EMDR Expert
• Debi Frankle, LMFT – Grief Counseling Specialist

📍 La Ventana Treatment Programs - 155 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
📱 RSVP (805)206-5391

💛 You are not alone. Support and resources are here for you.
