No matter what brings you to therapy...

I work with you to identify and heal any barriers or trauma responses in your life ​today. I address client needs from the inside-out by honoring all dimensions of ​body, mind, energy, emotions, and spirit. Learn to holistically capitalize on the ​healing power with mindful and intentional exploration. Our work can help guide ​you towards your deepest truths and help you clarify the next phase in your life. I ​offer a deeply human approach to therapy by connecting inner healing to the ​wisdom of your own intuition and the neurobiology of your brain.

Every experience is an opportunity...

Every experience is an opportunity to respond to life in a way that ​may help us embody our highest, self-chosen principles. Human ​suffering is an experience that forces us to look deep inside ourselves ​and know ourselves more fully and then courageously act from that ​place of knowing. We are the ultimate creators of our own ​experiences and growth.

While gaining new understanding...

While gaining new understanding for the painful issue(s) that brought ​you to therapy, you will evolve with new insights, healing, and overall ​love for yourself!

It's a beautiful transformation and an honor to witness.

Here to guide others ​through healing into ​the beautiful ​transformation of self-​discovery and beyond.

I have extensive experience in the substance ​use/addiction treatment industry including inpatient ​rehab and medical detox services, partial hospitalization ​programs, intensive outpatient programs, and ​community outpatient services, with a focus on ​Trauma/PTSD and Grief.

Another focus within my experience is in helping family ​members of addicted loved ones find healing. For 5 ​years, I provided weekly family support programs; ​consisting of multi-family groups, family therapy ​sessions, education, & resources for loved ones to find ​community and support.

Lastly, I’m experienced in Medical Family Therapy, ​working in hospital settings with individuals & families ​battling terminal illnesses and healthcare crises. I ​provided emotional support as well as tools to cope and ​adjust to major life transitions from medical trauma & ​chronic illness.

I'm proud to say therapy has been a vital tool in my own life, as I believe we are never finished growing. My personal ​experiences have shaped me into the therapist and the person I am today. My own empathy and awareness creates a ​much deeper level of understanding and connection with clients.

With a holistic perspective to healthcare, I believe working with an individual means working with all of the parts that make the ​individual whole. I’m focused with the overall, long-term well-being where clients take what they learn with them in every ​phase of life.

Empowerment of self and of intuition is an extremely important tool I value in therapy. With these concepts we focus on ​expanding your overall awareness to unlock the power that’s already within you.

My therapeutic approach is deeply ​rooted in Neurodevelopment, ​Attachment Theory, and Somatic ​Psychology; each holistically connected ​to the body and mind with a ​intersubjective-systemic perspective. A ​humanistic foundation where

Safety is the Therapy.

There is no "one-size-fits-all" ​approach to therapy. I utilize a ​variety of therapeutic ​modalities and concepts to best ​suit your individual needs, ​strengths, and personalities.

We are all wonderfully unique, ​which I honor with ​individualized treatment.

Built upon the deep roots of my ​theoretic foundation, lay the ​framework of Somatic Integration ​and Processing (SIP) and ​emphasizes the necessity of an ​intersubjective relationship ​between the therapist and client.

.

SIP at its core stems from:

1) Attachment Theory & ​Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB);

2) Adaptive Information Processing ​(AIP) and Memory Reconsolidation; ​and 3) Somatic Psychology.

Within this framework, I ​incorporate therapeutic modalities ​such as, EFT, IFS, Narrative Therapy, ​and Polyvagal Therapy.

Within the aforementioned ​modalities, I utilize specific ​interventions such as EMDR, ​Psychoanalytic interventions, ​Somatic and PVT interventions, ​Mindfulness Integration, and more to ​supplement each phase of therapy.

Interventions are helpful aids in ​working through Trauma, Grief, ​Addiction, and more in the efforts of ​understanding and healing the ​fragmented self.

I’m consistently aiming to further ​deepen the therapeutic bond, in​crease the client’s connection on​ treatment approaches and pro​gress, and deshame the experienc​e and path out ​of trauma.

By understanding how these ​neurological links are affected, and ​similarly, how they affect the body, ​mind, and spirit as a whole, I can ​better assist clients holistically; to ​rebuild and reconnect these links to ​achieve a healthier emotional and ​psychological balance. You will learn ​how to navigate your healing process ​with a new, holistic lens of yourself.

“Parts of a whole are interconnected ​and they cannot be understood ​without reference to the whole.”

The whole is greater than the sum of ​its parts.
