Covered Bridge Counseling LLC

Have you tried therapy before and felt like nothing changed? Or are you considering starting and wondering if it will help? I specialize in experiential therapy for adults who feel stuck in repeating emotional patterns, relationship issues, grief, and self-sabotage. My ideal client is ready for change but unsure how to get there, or has tried and feels stuck despite their efforts.   You may be capable, responsible, or relied on by others, but internally there is pressure, disconnection, or reactivity that does not line up with how you want to show up. This often connects to experiences like loss, betrayal, and early neglect and shows up in communication, relationships, and how you handle stress.   Becoming a counselor was a calling for me. My first career was in business, but it wasn't fulfilling. That led me to psychology as a second career. I wanted to help others more directly and had a lot of personal adversity and growth to pull from. I failed algebra twice in high school and later tutored it in college. I know what it means to feel behind and what it takes to move forward.   My approach is active, direct, and experiential. This is not passive talk therapy. I track what is happening in real time and call it out as it shows up. If you shift away from something important, minimize, or stay in your head, we slow it down and work through it in the moment.   We will use role play, role reversal, and reenactment to step into the patterns that keep repeating. Instead of just understanding your reactions, you will experience them as they happen and practice doing something different. The focus is helping you face, regulate, and use your emotions so they stop being something you battle and become something that actually guides you.   As a counselor, I am not interested in keeping you in therapy longer than necessary. I am interested in helping you make meaningful changes that carry outside the session. I will meet you where you are at, but I will also push you so you do not stay stuck in the same patterns with me.   If you are looking for a place to vent without change, I am not the right fit. If you are ready for focused, results-driven work that creates real movement, reach out by call, text, or through the contact form and we can get started.
