As your guide on this healing journey, I am dedicated to supporting you with deep compassion and professional care. My therapeutic practice is grounded in Trauma Restorative Care™, a strengths-based, trauma-sensitive method that celebrates your resilience and individual narrative. These resources embody my approach—prioritizing safety, empowerment, and whole-person growth. Feel free to engage with them at your own rhythm, and I’m here to accompany you further in our sessions together.
What It Is: A practice to establish a personal sanctuary for therapy and self-care.
How to Use It: Find a quiet corner at home. Add something comforting—a candle, a soft blanket, or a photo of a safe memory. Sit there for 3-5 minutes, breathing deeply, and imagine this as your healing space. Use it before or after our sessions to feel grounded and secure, reflecting my commitment to your safety.
What It Is: A tool to recognize your inner strengths, a cornerstone of my approach.
How to Use It: Take 5 minutes to write down three qualities you admire in yourself (e.g., courage, kindness). Read them aloud, placing a hand on your heart to affirm them. Repeat weekly to build self-awareness, mirroring how I help you uncover your resilience in therapy.
What It Is: A practice to reframe your narrative with kindness, aligning with my restorative focus.
How to Use It: Spend 2-3 minutes daily noting one thing about your life you’re grateful for—even a small moment. Write it down and reflect on how it shows your strength. This echoes my belief that every story holds the power to heal, a key part of our work together.
What It Is: A way to actively shape your therapy journey, reflecting my client-centered style.
How to Use It: Before our next session, spend 5 minutes jotting down one goal (e.g., feeling calmer). Bring it to share, and we’ll refine it together. This practice empowers you, mirroring how I partner with you to create a personalized healing path.
What It Is: A technique to ease into growth, honoring my gentle, trauma-sensitive method.
How to Use It: When facing a challenge, pause for 2-3 minutes. Breathe slowly and notice your body—any tension or ease. Ask, “What do I need right now?” Use this to approach change with self-compassion, reflecting my pace in therapy.
What It Is: A practice to honor your progress, a vital part of my strengths-based approach.
How to Use It: At the end of each week, take 3 minutes to note one small victory (e.g., a tough conversation handled well). Celebrate with a kind word to yourself or a small treat. This aligns with how I celebrate your growth in our sessions, fostering resilience.
