Linda Buck, Licensed Marital and Family Therapist

I believe we live within a relationship systems, relationship family and friends, relationship with self and with God. Within these relationship systems, problems can start to show up and life gets difficult or out of balance. Some relationships lack healthy boundaries, (toxic or dysfunctional relationship patterns) causing internal conflict in us (anxiety, depression, confusion). Recognizing what's not working can be the first step to growth and change...healing. Talking about these feelings and emotions with someone can be healing. I would be honored to work with you in any identified areas of pain or problems that you are struggling with including griefloss, fear, guilt, and abuse. Come in and let's talk about the hardest parts and begin to find hope for moving forward.

Trauma can look like always being on edge or being irritable; having anger issues or avoiding crowds; being depressed or anxious. These behaviors show up in our relationships, at work, or when things are changing in a life transition or environmental adjustments. Trauma experiences can be a one-time event that happened or a long-term experience. Trauma can be treated with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Whether you think you just need to talk with someone briefly or you need some tools to begin change in some areas, I encourage you to come in and talk. I work with individuals, couples and premarital couples. We can address communication problems you may be having or the currently struggles you are dealing with. You can regain hope as and have less confusion as you gain clarity and have more control of your thoughts, your emotions, and your life.

I use a variety of evidence-based practices, empirically supported treatments and resources including EMDR, Attachment and Systems work, Solution Focused, PrepareEnriched Premarital, Mindfulness, Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT) and Self Compassion. Because we are all different I will work with you to provide personalized treatment plans aimed at accurately and effectively addressing your specific needs and goals.
