Welcome to Restore Grace Counseling. This can be your time to find your joy and heal from that thing.
It takes courage to seek help to reach for wholeness. “Unprocessed pain tweaks behavior Kathryn Rheem- from theEFTCafe.com” I work with those. who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. I am interested in the deep healing in the brain that is revealed in the body. I love to be a catalyst. To watch you experience that light switch go on and those aha moments. In your time, the negative memories of the past can be disarmed. I enjoy working with youth, adults and families. Put on your curiosity hat, create an open space, find acceptance, and let’s shed light on a new path to a better future. I would be honored to explore the barriers, to happiness, you may be facing.
At Restore Grace Counseling I concentrate on the issues that bring you most distress. Example, meal skipping, restricting, a cycle of binge-purging, and compulsive body image distress. I work with eating disorders 12 yrs. and up. Thus, this often includes trauma, mood, addictions and couples counseling. I start where you are and explore what it is that makes you feel stuck In disordered eating, I like to say I deal with eating disorders “ed,” a guest who came without an invitation. “ed” needs a new job. It is time for a realignment and a reordering of tasks professionally, and personally. I utilize several models and look for what resonates with your your specific type of disordered eating. Psychotherapy is an alphabet soup of the letters I use are CBT, CPT, DBT, EFT, IFS, EDIT: Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy as well as, HAES (Health at every size). There may be a co-occurring mood disorder, addictive behaviors or trauma that needs to be addressed in addition to “ed.” Say good-bye to being stuck.
CORE ATTACHMENT: Meaningful research points to the need to understand your core attachment style as a key to healing. The best modalities are grounded in attachment as a core factor to the healing couple puzzle. Do you find you are searching for greater attachment? Let me help you consider a new alignment of your past, present, and future. Let’s work together toward your healing communication, connectedness and passion. One cord ties all three into balance. Find your balance.
Every generation has an essence that defines them. “Psalm 78: 4 tells us we should tell “the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.” If you live a life of integrity your actions speak louder than words. You matter, You are important, You are beautiful and I do not mean genetics. God made you special. Some people shine with such inner beauty that the rest of us are in awe….and they don’t even know that about themselves. Is that your story?
In order to determine if I am the best therapist to meet your needs, I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation. If you are seeking therapy for a teen I we all meet to see if I am a good fit.
