Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost? Is your past weighing you down? Does it feel like you've tried everything to get through your past and yet it feels like you're not getting anywhere? Together, we will get you back on your way to living a meaningful life. I provide a secure and nurturing space for you to come as you are. You'll be able to share your experiences without judgment. We'll work through your past to clear the path for your future. Life is too precious to spend another second feeling unhappy and stuck. Inaction only makes things worse. Your best life is waiting for you.
I have extensive experience treating: Depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, chronic pain, autoimmune disease, and addiction issues. I am trained in: CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, EMDR, mindful based treatments, and I am a certified Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP) and provide affordable KAP in-person and via tele-health.
I have a wonderful team of kind, grounded, and skilled therapists who utilize curiosity, compassion, and humor. At Thrive Coastal Therapy, we encourage healing from a holistic perspective. I have 28+ years experience working in the mental health field both in private practice and community based organizations and provide hands on supervision to my team.
