Through the Darkness Know Your Light

Service Specialties

  • Trauma

    With traumatic experiences, we often unconsciously employ defenses such as fight-or-flight reactions or dissociation in an effort to protect ourselves. This is healthy and normal - and it also means we have less control over ourselves, and less understanding of what we went through. Yet, with consistent connection and work with someone with trauma-informed therapy training, our minds may resiliently adopt new patterns of thinking and behavior, allowing us to take back control over our lives.

  • Communication

    Communication is one of the most common concerns clients have pertaining to their mental health. There are steps to communicating effectively no matter the situation, and tools to facilitate interaction with others. When vital relationships and social needs are in distress, it becomes psychologically imperative to pursue all options for solutions.

  • Mood Disorders

    The negative impact of mood disorder symptoms on a person’s quality-of-life - as destructive as they can be - may be reduced with the tools and interventions used in the integrative, client-centered, strengths-based approach found in this therapy program. This means depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, or anything affecting your mood to the impairment of your life function may finally find relief.

  • Somatic (Body) Impairment

    The body, like the trunk of a tree, shows indications of problems at the root (or psychological) level. Sleep issues, eating issues, pain/tension, even breathing difficulties and illness may have connections to psychological issues ~ and vice versa. In this therapy program, there are techniques for listening to what your body is telling you, and for resolving the issues felt on the somatic level.

How does “telehealth” work?

Do I have to have a diagnosis?

Because I am not using insurance, it is not absolutely necessary to have a diagnosis for therapy. However, it is my legal/ethical duty to evaluate you and inform you of any diagnosis, which will take place during our first meeting. Please note that a diagnosis is simply a reference point from which we find the best tools and evidence-based techniques for your unique mind!

Is it confidential?

Absolutely confidential, and you will always have my unconditional positive regard. The only things I am mandated to report by law are if you intend to hurt yourself or someone else, or if I’m made aware of a child, elder, or incapacitated adult receiving abuse or neglect. In these cases, please understand that I will give you options to participate in the reporting, and I will be with you every step of the way - these laws and my actions are only meant to help in these difficult situations.
