I was looking forward to a quite night and to start getting ready for the job interview I have on Friday, I didn't do either. I decided to organize our bills, I have been neglecting them because I'm overhwelm with everything and I hate that my partner gets upset when there isn't enough money to pay our bills. After last week I almost drink myself to exhaustation we have been trying to get back on track, so I started looking for the bills that were all over the apartment, I found a noticed from the electric company saying that we had until today before the cut our services, well of course I saw the note for the first time and I was convinced I had paid the bill but I had not! How on earth I forgot to pay a bill since April?! I made the payment but because it was after bank ours it will not post to our account until tomorrow, lets pray they don't cut our service. There is another bill behind, our association fees, i get pay on Friday and I'm planning on pay it off but it is the first time since we live here that I don't oay the association. We have been spending money like drunken sailors, drinking and throwing parties but forgot to pay our bills! I also have been to the doctor and teraphist several times in the last two months and those bills are going to start pulling up as well! I have one of those high deductible plans so I have to pay the first 3.5k out of my pocket, today when discussing my medications with my doctor I was just asking her how much it would be because my antidepresant is almost 400 dollars, my insurance make me buying trough them and they want you to buy 90 days! I asked the doctor to send me just a month prescription that way they dnt make me pay the entire amount right away! Yes money drives me insane, I don't know how to handle it. My partner has a lot of money and he contributes more than I do because we bought the condo he wanted, I can't afford the lifestyle Im trying to live, I have had this conversation with him a million times and he is supportive for a while but then we go back to our set missbehaviors. I want this to change, I want me to get out of this stupid depression, my horrible job, my needyness, my drinking…I'm exhausted and I can't sleep anymore because I'm thinking and thinking on how to get out of this mess…

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.
I provide professional, results-oriented counseling with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Hypnosis, methods that more quickly and effectively brings about positive changes. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also work extensively with couples and family members on relationship issues.

The idea of going to therapy can be scary. Choosing a therapist is overwhelming. Calling that therapist is intimidating.
Please understand that you are not alone in feeling scared, overwhelmed, and intimidated. But considering therapy does not mean that there is something wrong with you. Therapy is not for “bad” people or “crazy” people. Therapy is for people who want help sorting through the confusing thoughts and beliefs that they have. If you are afraid of what people think about you, fear that you are unlovable/bad, or are afraid that you might not be good enough, please consider calling me.
I have over 20 years experience helping adults, families and children heal from trauma, loss, mental health and substance abuse challenges. I use play therapy and mindfulness techniques.
My approach to counseling is that each individual has the potential within them to accomplish anything. My job is to help you realize that potential and to make peace with the issues that you face. Notice I never said anything about “getting over” what you have going on, because I believe that there are some things that make that impossible. But, I believe that if you are willing to work with me to achieve your goals, you can achieve the recovery you truly want
My journey to the present day has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve worked in the mental health field since graduating with my Master’s Degree in 2007. I’ve worked with many different populations in many different settings. Most recently I have been working with clients who desired to end their lives, or who were too sick to go about their daily lives. I’ve also supervised others, taught at a college level, and made presentations to other professionals. In the real world, I’ve worked in the medical field, customer service, and I’ve owned my own business. I believe this varied experience allows me to be more emphatic as well as take a more common sense approach to treatment.
I invite you to take a step toward something difficult and do something that is good for you. You always have the opportunity to go back to the way things were; that isn’t challenging in the least.
Are you experiencing more stress and anxiety than ever before? Are there massive changes underway in your life that are keeping you up at night? Have you been thinking back to the past and wondering if you are finally ready to deal with difficult events that have left you scarred? Any one of these situations can have you wanting to run away from your emotions and continue stuffing the hard stuff way down down deep inside. But you’ve handled things this way before, and you are convinced that it’s time for a change.

Therapy means "change"...change for the betterment of life and relationships you deeply care about. Your individual and family life change and relational healing is possible, even though you may think healing would be impossible. One major emphasis is that your time spent with us is YOUR time. We wish to advocate for your needs in all aspects of your life.
Struggling with how much your world has changed in such a short time? Feeling anxious, on edge, and uncertain? If your anxiety has been triggered by current events, you are certainly not alone. But in some ways, that makes it harder. Everyone is worried and hurting, including you. You can also feel it tapping into some old stuff, magnifying how lousy you feel. You have worked so hard in your life to feel in charge and on top of things but now feel out of control and helpless. It's not a good feeling. Even worse, your usual coping mechanisms -- going to yoga class, getting coffee with a co-worker, or throwing yourself into work -- have been taken away for now. There's no real end in sight and you're not sure what to do.
We understand how awful that feels and want to help. The therapists at Nova Terra Therapy work both online and in-person to help clients like you to identify and deal with both old and new anxiety triggers. We use a variety of approaches but are particular fans of blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR. Using this combination, we help you to get at what's happening in both your mind and your body when it comes to anxiety-provoking or traumatic events. We've found that these two heavily-researched evidence-based treatments are particularly effective at giving our clients efficient, long-standing relief.
You are getting things done! You go to work, knock down those goals- your super successful, and yet, things just aren't working. You're not happy, maybe you can't relax. On a normal week-anxiety keeps you up at night. And, with these last few months, you are even more on edge. Maybe it's time you talked to someone who understands the pressures of working and living in the DC area and how to protect your mental wellness.
