Anxiety and Depression
Sometimes it can feel like the world is closing in and the weight of all we have to deal with is crushing. Together we can process through what you are dealing with and work on giving you the tools you need to alleviate the symptoms that are making it hard to function day to day. We will create goals and work toward them in sessions until you feel less of that weight and can breathe easy again. Sadness and worry do not have to be part of your everyday.
Trauma and Brainspotting
Processing through trauma can be hard, so to make it easier I use a method called Brainspotting. Broinspotting uses your line of vision that corresponds with specific emotional responses or past experiences. Sometimes your body knows what you can’t say and we use all of you to get through ( stuck spots and heal the core of your pain. After releasing your trauma we can really zoom in on healing by filtering other therapies that work well for you and reach your wellness goals.
Confidence and Self Esteem
When you are dealing with so many things, how you feel about yourself, and your ability to live an authentic life can be swept aside. It’s time to get back to you. Live the way you want to with confidence. I want you to feel empowered to be your truest self. We will work together to really figure out who you are, your values, beliefs, and dreams and what is holding you back. We will build up your boundaries where they are needed and tear down walls where they don’t belong. You are worthy, you are enough, and at ARO Therapy, I want you to know it.
