Dare To Be Counseling

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Last Updated 30+ days ago

You deserve to feel supported, balanced, and like yourself again. My passion is helping children, adolescents, and adults in identifying and making sense of their trauma and life challenges. Utilizing research-based approaches, I help clients address issues like PTSD, addiction, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I provide a strength-based approach, such as EMDR and TF-CBT with the belief that you are the expert on your own experience. Together, we will work as a team to identify, target, and treat upsetting memories and develop coping skills to address current challenges.

I enjoy pulling from specialties such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy or EMDR. This is a process is intended to bring balance to your system. Bad Memories can become "stuck" in the brain, causing an increase in emotions and daily difficulties. EMDR is designed to alleviate the distress associated with upsetting memories. Once you are ready, we move into addressing trauma and deeper issues at a pace that feels right for you.

I will be your biggest cheer leader and celebrate in those mini wins along the way - like saying "no" without guilt, setting a boundary with a family member, or just having a better week. I will be right here, with no judgement or pressure, supporting your growth at your pace.
