Individual Therapy

Take a deep breath. I’m so glad you’re here.

Simply Begin Again Therapy can help by providing a trauma informed safe space to explore and address your concerns.  Always LGBTQIA+ allied.

Individual Therapy: For individual adults seeking personal growth and healing, I provide a safe and compassionate space for exploring the past, fixing old patterns and connecting with others. Addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including anxiety, grief, stress, trauma, perinatal mental health, and life transitions.  I work with clients to build practical coping strategies, gain deeper understanding and develop resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges.

Mind-Body Connection: I help clients understand how emotions, thoughts, and past experiences can manifest in the body as physical sensations, tension, or discomfort. By exploring the mind-body connection, I help clients gain insight into past trauma, triggers and coping skills to move forward.

Trauma-Informed Approach:  Traumatic experiences can be stored in the body and impact emotional well-being. I work gently with clients to help them process unresolved trauma.

I collaborate with clients to co-create a treatment plan that may include a combination of traditional talk therapy, mind-body techniques, and mindfulness practices to support my client's growth and healing journey. I hope to foster a sense of empowerment in my clients by encouraging them to trust their own innate capacity for healing and growth.

I am trained in multiple therapeutic methods to address various client needs effectively. Here's a description of each area I am trained in:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach primarily used to treat trauma. EMDR helps clients heal from trauma by allowing the brain to process distressing memories in a safe, structured way. Over time, painful experiences lose their grip, and clients can feel more in control, grounded, and free from past trauma.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. DBT teaches clients skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Polyvagal Theory: Teaches clients to recognize how their body shifts between states of safety, fight-or-flight, or shutdown. Through awareness and regulation techniques—like breathwork, grounding, and safe connection—clients learn to calm their nervous system, build resilience, and feel more secure in their relationships and environment.

Motivational Interviewing: Enhancing motivation to bring about positive behavioral changes. I use motivational interviewing to collaborate with clients to foster change and help them find internal motivation to achieve their goals, whether related to addiction, relationships, or other life changes.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use CBT work with clients to help reduce intrusive, negative thoughts.

By incorporating these various therapeutic modalities into my practice, I can offer a comprehensive and tailored approach to meet the diverse needs of my clients, promoting personal growth, resilience, and emotional well-being.
