Supporting Caregivers for Those with Severe Mental Illness
If you’re a family member supporting a loved one dealing with severe mental illness, your commitment and love are invaluable. However, it’s essential to recognize that you don’t have to carry this burden alone. Supporting someone with a mental health condition can be overwhelming, often leading to feelings of frustration, isolation, or burnout. Together, we can navigate the complexities of caregiving, addressing the unique challenges you face and identifying effective coping strategies tailored to your family's specific needs.
​
In our sessions, we will take the time to delve into your experiences, ensuring you have a safe space to express your emotions and share your concerns. We’ll explore how the dynamics of caregiving can impact your mental and emotional health, and I will provide you with practical tools and techniques to manage stress and enhance your well-being.
​
Your well-being is paramount, and I’m here to help you not just cope but thrive amidst life’s chaos. By focusing on self-care and setting healthy boundaries, we can work together to create a robust support system that fosters resilience within your family. You will learn to recognize and celebrate small victories, allowing for moments of joy and connection, even amidst the difficulties. Taking the first step toward seeking support is often the hardest, but I am dedicated to being there for you every step of the way. Remember, you are not alone on this journey; together, we can build a path toward understanding, healing, and hope for both you and your loved one.
Trauma Therapy and Supporting Survivors
If you're on a journey of healing from trauma, I want you to know that while difficult events may have occurred, they don’t define your entire story. Specializing in working with survivors of crimes, I believe wholeheartedly in the resilience and potential for growth within you. Your experiences may have shaped you, but they don’t determine your future path.
​
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe space to express your emotions, process trauma, and rediscover a sense of empowerment. You deserve to live a life unburdened by the weight of the past, embracing your intrinsic worth and rewriting your narrative. Together, we will explore your experiences and create a path toward healing and renewal.
​
Psychological Evaluation
As the Assessment Lead and Senior Psychometrist, I work closely with clients to conduct thorough psychological evaluations that can illuminate the challenges you may be facing. These evaluations are crucial in helping you and your loved ones gain insight into mental health conditions, enabling you to make informed decisions about treatment and support.
​
Having collaborated with Dr. Jackson for multiple years, I bring a wealth of experience to the assessment process. Together, we strive to assist you in finding the answers you’re seeking, ensuring that you feel supported and understood throughout the evaluation.
