Offering Weekly sessions and Intensive therapy sessions
You’re exhausted from always wondering when you will start to feel better
You feel broken or like something is wrong with you
You’re always second guessing yourself
You feel alone and like no one understands you
There are times when you want to crawl out of your skin
You notice that you and your partner argue over the same things all the time
You feel like the connection between you and your partner is gone or going
You and your partner lack the intimacy you once had
You keep replaying a traumatic event over and over again in your head - you can’t move past it.
Your feelings are TOO intense and you’re not sure how to handle them.
You’re confused because you used to feel like yourself, happy and like you had it all together, BUT then something happened. It could’ve been something traumatic that happened to you, bad relationship, or you went through a life transitions that left you feeling LOST. You forgot who you were, what made you happy, your goals and life dreams. Or maybe you got into a relationship that was so good, at first, but as time went on things changed and it slowly became toxic and left you feeling insecure, unhappy and LOST.
Maybe you have tried to read self help books or even been to therapy before but you left feeling the same. Nothing has really helped you with growth or change that you’re looking for to better your life and your relationships.
Well, you have come to the right place!
Hi, I’m Shuriee and I can HELP!
I am therapist who isn’t afraid to talk about the difficult or uncomfortable things. I welcome topics related to trauma, sex, money, power and privilege, and more. I’m your down to earth therapist. I use humor, sarcasm, and sometimes I may cuss but that’s me. I show up as my authentic self in each therapy session because I know how important it is to be able to trust, relate to, and feel secure with your therapist.
I love to incorporate yoga into our sessions so I may show up in yoga attire. Sometimes, I like to be casual or sometimes fancy. My point is, you don’t have to worry about what you look like when you come to session, just as long as you show up and I will guide you through the rest.
I’ll help you explore and understand how past events and/or relationships might be getting in the way of living the life you want. I particularly enjoy working with individuals and couples who are motivated to do deep work and are open-minded to some forms of therapy that aren’t traditional “talk therapy.”
Specializing in:
Complex & Relational Trauma
Trauma affects you in many different ways. Sometimes, you don’t even know that you have trauma because you compare your experiences with others who, you feel, had it worse.. However, when you look back at your experiences and how they affected you, it can be a wake up call because you realize you do have trauma and the symptoms of trauma are showing up in your everyday life and relationships. Discover a life without the symptoms of your trauma. Let me help you reclaim your life!
Couples Therapy
At the beginning it’s so good. You and your partner don’t argue, you feel connected and on the same page, your sex life is amazing but then life happens. Things slowly start changing. Your communication isn’t as good, the connection feels distant, there may be only a little sex happening. I want to help you and your partner reconnect. I will help rebuild better communication skills and teach how to have boundaries within the relationship. Both people in the relationship need to be their own individual self. Lastly, I will help both people feel empowered within the relationship in order to have reconnection and increase sex life.
Self-Esteem
You have always strived to be the very best. You feel like you need to be perfect all the time. You feel like you should always be doing more. The inner critic may be telling you “ you’re not enough” or “you’re not worthy of good things.” You beat yourself up and don’t allow true happiness in your life. I want to help you learn to quiet the inner critic so you can have more confidence, self- compassion, and self -validation.
Therapy Approaches:
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing can help change painful experiences with intense emotions into memories that don’t effect us.
EMDR Intensives are better for busy people who don’t have enough time for weekly therapy sessions or when weekly therapy isn’t enough and you just need more time.
IFS
Internal Family Systems can help you heal your relationship with yourself so you can be your authentic self while feeling empowered and connected to yourself.
Gottman Couples Therapy & Intensives
Gottman therapy helps couples rebuild the bond that brought them together, increase intimacy, improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and help couples be on the same page with shared goals.
