Root (noun): the essential core, an underlying support
Reliance (noun): dependence on or trust in someone or something
Root Reliance: The dependence on and trust in your essential core. This underlying, innate, support.
At Root Reliance Counseling I believe that each of us has a core-self and that this Self is an unending source of internal strength that we can all access and rely upon to facilitate healing and movement through the world in ways that are aligned with our values. I believe that my role in your therapeutic journey is to guide and empower you to tap into this innate source of resiliency by understanding the experiences you have had which led to the development of harmful beliefs or wounds and of your internal and external systems that are currently upholding these painful experiences.
Just as our bodies will heal physical wounds, we can also heal internal and emotional wounds. Like trauma or PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, self-esteem, addictions, and the inability to connect with others in a meaningful way. I will work with you to create the conditions necessary for your body to do what is knows how to do - heal and release.
My therapeutic approach is honed from 5+ years of direct client care, scientific evidence and personal experience. I remain current with emerging research, witness this daily with my clients and live it in my personal life.
This work is the process of coming home to yourself.
This is Root Reliance.
