If you are seeking any kind of emotional healing or inner healing, look no further. I have a personal and deep understanding of the courageous journey you will take with this approach toward healing the wounds of the past. I am patient and kind in the therapeutic relationship.

First session
In our first session we will begin with brief introductions, then we will discuss the issues that have brought you to therapy. Sometimes it is difficult to share and some like to dive right in. As you reveal your needs at your own pace, we will develop a unique and integrative treatment plan especially for you.

Origin story
I was 27 years old when I discovered that healing from trauma was a real and lasting possibility. After my own successful and life changing experience in therapy, I became interested in what a wonderful opportunity everyone has to heal from childhood dysfunction. I'm here now, to guide you on your own unique journey to live a fulfilling and happy life.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
I have found that identifying the pain of the past and processing the events in a therapeutic setting can bring inner healing of past traumatic events or trauma filled spaces of time in your life. Overtime, I hope we can bring you to a place where you feel safe, confident and centered. I find this method of therapy very effective with clients suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and complex PTSD.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy teaches a client to be in the here and now as well as break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a decline into a mood-disordered state; this therapy can help a person fight off a difficult frame of mind before it takes hold. Learning to identify the critical thought patterns that continue in our minds 24/7 and replacing those thoughts with kind, compassionate and positive self-talk is key to emotional regulation.
Eclectic
I use an eclectic type of psychotherapy tailored to fit the exact needs of the individual seeking treatment. Eclectic therapy is sometimes referred to as multi-modal or integrative therapy as therapists combine a variety of disciplines into one session. I am aware and value the fact that each client is unique and has unique needs in therapy. I am trained in many treatment methods and I draw the most relevant techniques from other evidence-based therapy modalities together for an effective, individualized treatment plan.
