Do you want to feel more stable and grounded in your own life?
Do you want to have a more balanced connection between your mind and body?
Do you want to have the ability to be restored to a prior healthy level of well-being?
If so, Anchor & Balance Restorative Services, LLC is for you.
Your story is unique. Your story matters.
Your story is created and shaped through your personal experiences. You may believe your experiences are either positive or negative; however, you are responsible for your thoughts, feelings, and reactions. There are no bad or negative emotions, but what you do with them is what matters. Your thoughts, feelings, and reactions can impact how you see yourself, your future, your desires, and your goals. And I am here to help you along this journey.
Therapy is a collaborative process between yourself and your clinician. It is a process and one in which mutual trust needs to be established in order to build a positive therapeutic relationship. We will work together to identify goals that you wish to achieve.
I believe an integrated model approach to therapy is best to allow you to express yourself in order to achieve your identified goals. Therefore, I use a variety of techniques including Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, and different forms of Play and Art Therapy to help you achieve your goals.
Therapy is a journey and I will walk along side this path with you and/or your child to help you to restore yourself and "find your way back home" in a safe and supportive environment.
"You're stronger than you seem,
smarter than you think,
and braver than you believe."
