Better Health Starts Here.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” Unknown. “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.” Anonymous Hi. I understand that when you're hurting, you need understanding and sensitivity. You might be struggling with a difficult psychological disorder or just need help untangling the complex web of life. Perhaps you are struggling with a difficult relationship, need to overcome a serious trauma, or want to surmount a weight or smoking problem through hypnosis. I am also certified to perform past life regression, which might afford you self enrichment or provide the key to understanding aspects of thoughts and feelings you have today. Therapy is not a “one size fits all” discipline and fitting treatment to my individual client's personality and needs is a hallmark of my practice. I am skilled in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing,), Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, Relationship Counseling, or regular talk therapy, and will apply whichever technique or techniques in our sessions that promise the greatest benefit to you. The following are some of the issues I work with: Depression, relationship issues, anxiety, chronic pain, divorce, gay/lesbian issues, grief, OCD, spirituality, trauma, dissociation, family and sexual problems. This is not an exhaustive list and I encourage you to write or call to discuss whatever has brought you to consider using my services.

Kari has an intriguing approach that allows her to work with traditionally resistant clients. She uses a therapy that is especially suited for those who don't want to face their trauma or pain, don't have the words to express their trauma or pain, and don't want to even talk about the things in their life that are causing them trouble. This unique approach allows her clients to receive almost immediate relief of emotional pain and the suffering it causes, all without the use of any hypnosis. Often those who have received this type of therapy notice that along with it comes improved physical functioning, increased energy, improved relationships, more positive outlooks, and more motivation to achieve their goals. Are you ready to achieve YOUR goals?

I have a diverse clientele with many different needs. I offer telecommunication as well as a few in office hours. Telecommunication tends to be the best fit for most due to the flexibility and convenience. I listen until it's time to offer feedback. I hold each client in unconditional regard and support for their happiness. When their happiness involves change, the client decides if they are ready to change. I support them with various techniques. such as cognitive behavioral, reflective listening, and guided imagery relaxation.

If you feel stuck and hopeless, individual counseling is a one-on-one process of being heard, encouraged and challenged toward growth. Jalea will work with you to identify and change unhealthy life patterns through learning to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts. I know that it takes courage to address problem areas and examine painful feelings. Attending counseling does not mean you are weak, but rather strong enough to be vulnerable and move forward. I am passionate about counseling and will respect your vulnerability by creating a safe place for you to work through the problems that can no longer be ignored. Philosophically, I believe that problems are not just one-dimensional but multi-faceted. Pain and suffering will affect multiple areas of your life including psychological health, physical health, spirituality and interpersonal relationships. I believe that since all these areas are affected by turmoil they should be addressed and targeted in counseling.

Your life doesn't have to be this way. The consequences of the past can impact our moods and our relationships right here, right now. If your partner is half-way out the door, your boss is reprimanding you, and you find yourself increasingly alone as your friends ghost you, it might be time for a change. Maybe one of your friends gets bold one day and says, "Maybe it is time you talked to someone." My clients tell me that therapy has helped them not "get over" a traumatic childhood or relationship, anger problems, or the suicide of a loved one, but put those losses in context, understand how our brain protects us from pain, and find better coping skills to rebuild a life worth living.

Relationships are the cornerstone of a happy and successful life. Depression, anxiety, and anger can disrupt your ability to form and sustain healthy relationships with others and with yourself. The ways you choose to cope with and react to your strong and stressful emotions affect your sense of well-being and self-esteem, which naturally affect your ability to feel effective in your work and social life. I provide a supportive therapeutic environment in which you can explore your own ability to relate to others and to gain a greater understanding of yourself. I work well with older adolescents, young adults and couples who struggle with identity, family, communication problems, and coping abilities. Often, we will explore substance use, sexuality, and verbal/physical aggression. Together, we will explore the foundations for these behaviors and work to create the positive change you desire. I do my best to create a safe space that allows for the development of trust and confidence in the therapeutic relationship. My client's comfort is of utmost importance; I want you to feel supported as we begin to explore your inner world and the world of your relationships.

If you are living with anxiety, depression, or a substance abuse problem, I can help. Deciding whether or not to seek out a therapist or counselor can be a difficult step to take. If you considering participating in therapy, I recommend you seek a professional opinion to see if you can benefit from participating in this. Maybe you are having a difficult time finding motivation to get tasks done each day. Maybe you are having a difficult time in you relationship. Whether you are working through individual issues or issues in your relationship, counseling may be able to help. Some people who have anxiety have difficulties with change, while others have difficulties with social situations. Together we will look at the triggers for your anxiety and find ways to cope with these triggers, and even make many of them disappear. In individual counseling, I can help you analyze your thinking in a way that allows you to change it. With cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, you will be able to challenge and change the thoughts that are leading you to feel more negative emotions. We will also look at situations in your life, and find solutions to these situations so that you can handle similar ones in the future with less stress. In couples counseling, we will look at the dynamics in your relationship that are leading to problems. Maybe you have difficulties communicating. Maybe your sex-life is struggling and lost some of the passion that it used to have. I can help you break down these issues so that they are more understandable and manageable. Many times the issues that have made the relationship toxic can be handled with some simple interventions. Other times more extensive therapy is needed. I specialize in helping individuals who live with Asperger's Disorder. I utilize cognitive-behavior therapy to help these individuals with communication, their anxiety and depression, and their relationships. Finally, I also specialize in working with individuals who are part of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community. I understand the relationship dynamics that can take place in couples counseling, as well as individuals issues such as coming out and dealing with discrimination. Therefore if you are lesbian or gay, you can feel comfortable in knowing that you have a safe place to go to. If you are part of the transgender community, I can help you with finding ways of expressing the gender with which you identify.

Expressive/creative interventions like sandplay, artwork, music therapy, drawings are used at the client's decision.

Making the choice to enter into the therapy world isn't always easy. For some, the idea of becoming vulnerable and opening up to a stranger is scary and anxiety provoking. However, the long-term benefits of self-exploration, self-understanding, and self-acceptance are invaluable. Some clients enter therapy with a specific goal in mind or issue to address. Perhaps you have been referred by another clinician or identified a particular problem that needs attention. Therapy is a great place to target those issues and carefully evaluate them in a safe place. Other clients may enter therapy without a specific goal. That's fine too! I work to create a safe and comfortable environment that promotes openness and healing. Individual Therapy - Individual therapy provides you with the opportunity to meet with me on a one on one basis and explore the complexities of your life in a safe space.

Family and Couples Therapy - Family and couples therapy works to identify patterns in the family system that may be preventing its members from reaching their full potential. We are all creatures of habit, but at times our habits can become mildly dysfunctional or flat out destructive. I work with each family to help develop more effective patterns and create a sense of balance within the system.

In addition, my work has traveled across all ages - as I have conducted therapy with adolescents, young adults, and adults alike. I work to identify how patients use their relationship with food to control life chaos, relationships, and seemingly difficult feelings. Pre and Post-Partum Speciality - Beginning a family or adding a new member can be both exciting and nerve racking. All women have different experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. Sometimes there is a need for a little extra support during these intense times. I work with each woman to cultivate on her inner strength and wisdom to help her through whatever may be standing in the way of pure bliss.

Choosing a psychologist can be stressful, confusing, and frightening. Will she be able help us? How long will it take? What do I look for? My approach to psychotherapy is a collaborative effort where you and I work on mutually agreed upon goals. We work to solve specific problems within a specific time frame. After carefully assessing the present concerns, we explore the problems within the context of family dynamics and medical history. We then identify goals and agree on ways to accomplish them. This problem-solving, time-limited approach enables you to identify your strengths, focus on the problems, attain your goals, and succeed in your treatment. This process does not have to take forever. I look forward to working with you.
