Our problems, concerns and struggles in life often cannot be reduced to a simple diagnosis. As human beings navigating a constantly evolving and sometimes difficult world, we are accumulations of our experiences, patterns, skills, and desires. We sometimes need to enhance our abilities to cope or gain insight through seeing a different perspective, but we all have the innate ability to grow and heal ourselves. As a therapist, my goal is to assist you in attaining your desired outcomes and reaching a point of contentment in your life.

My profession as a therapist is one that I take very seriously because I know that people are valuable, their lives are precious, and joy and contentment should be in each and every one of us. I provide a compassionate, empathetic style, while also empowering and challenging clients to be their best selves. I use an integrated approach with clients, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution focused therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. I encourage clients to set realistic goals and objectives throughout the therapy process and I am committed to joining, supporting, and encouraging my clients in that process.

I am accepting new clients. I've provided and supervised Mental Health (MH) and Substance Use counseling services for over 25 years in a variety of settings with all age groups. My experience and training has convinced me of several things - relationships define our sense of self; we look to our relationships for comfort and safety; Mental Wellness encompasses a Mind, Body and Spirit approach. I believe successful counseling is a commitment to create a place that allows each person to communicate their needs at a more genuine level and practice more effective ways of relating to others and taking an active role in one's health.

As a trained EMDR therapist, my focus is to help you find relief from many types of psychological distress that impact your daily living. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy that has been empirically tested and proven effective on a variety of psychological issues and all ages. We will meet in a safe, warm, and secure environment to discuss your concerns, develop an individualized care plan designed to meet those concerns, and begin treatment focused on targeting the most important issues. You are supported through the entire process and given tools to assist yourself outside of therapy.

Greetings! I've been in the helping profession for over 10 years and the journey has been both personally and professionally rewarding! I have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. My counseling style focuses on building a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship, creating a judgment-free space for clients to explore life challenges and relationships. I am committed to helping you reach your goals in therapy and I look forward to encouraging you every step of the way!

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to see if I could be a good fit for your journey. I am passionate about supporting clients who are seeking to process through their experiences and seek new insight into their lives. I work with young children through young adult and adult. My nonjudgmental approach comes from my belief that every person has worth even when you might struggle to see that in yourself. My role is to be here to help empower you along your path.

Ready to shift from the heavy weight of overwhelm, anxiety, depression &/or trauma into a place of freedom & empowerment where you feel ALIVE (instead of just existing)? Awesome! Although starting therapy might feel like a serious & heavy thing—it does not have to be. It can be a safe space to lean into embracing curiosity, getting creative, learning coping skills, & reconnecting with your core self. It can look like taking this messy middle that you feel stuck in & working together to untangle the mess to make sense of what is in the present while reconnecting to your WHOLE self: resiliency, strengths, values, & all!

I provide individual, couples' and family counseling, and help others live up to their potential by discovering a sense of purpose and wellness wherever they are in life.

If you struggle with, depression, anxiety, frustration, or anger issues. If you find yourself a victim of your circumstances, and you want to give up please don't! Do you believe nothing can change for you? Stop that thinking, because that's a lie! Life is a journey. If you have given up today is the day you restart your journey. Health in any form is not a destination because no one can be perfected in the natural. However, you can become comfortable and satisfied with the journey you are on and learn skills to propel yourself forward.

Exhausted, defeated, stuck, need to process? Where do you turn when life is too overwhelming to manage alone? My name is Eris and I am passionate about helping you reach your goals through compassion, empathy, and a down-to-Earth approach. I am passionate about working with youth and young adults, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am here to help guide you toward the next step in life toward becoming your ideal self. I am also available to do Autism Testing (ADOS-2).

Are you overwhelmed with parenting responsibilities or job stress? Is depression or anxiety keeping you from enjoying life? Are relationships or grief keeping you from moving forward? Are you eating or injuring yourself to cope with life's challenges? If so, I can offer a safe place to process these experiences and increase your ability to cope. I prefer a practical approach and frequently use solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy. I use homework assignments and psycho-educational techniques when appropriate.

The foundation to my approach of counseling, is that clients have to put in the work when they make the decision to start; this is how clients will be the most successful in their journey. Counseling can be messy, and the most impactful thing I can do for my clients is hold space, bring things into awareness that they might be missing, and find different, more effective ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
