The mission of To Bear Witness is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to grow and achieve your goals.
 

I aim to help you . . . .

• take control of your life and the ways you cope

• find meaning and motivation

• move away from emotional extremes and discover a balanced middle way

• learn to ground yourself, so you can truly experience life as it is happening
   

Some people find it beneficial to process their own traumatic experiences or difficult past events; if you choose to do so in therapy, it will be at your own pace and comfort level.  Most of all, I will acknowledge you as a unique person; therapy is going to look different for everyone, and our work will be tailored to your needs and goals.

 

I am highly experienced in working with issues related to: vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue; addictions; bipolar, depressive, and anxiety disorders; trauma and PTSD; reintegration after incarceration; and existential challenges.

 

On a personal and clinical level, I understand how hard each day can be for people dealing with trauma, depression, addictions, anxiety, and more. But I also believe those hard days can get better, and life can have a new sense of meaning and purpose.  Contact me to schedule an appointment or ask any questions you may have.
