Helping others heal is my passion and life purpose. My most influential work is holding space for others on their healing journey. If you are ready to transform your life...personally and spiritually I am here to walk with you on the journey to healing. If life has been dragging you...giving you lemons...having difficulty coping...the kids acting up...relationship issues, etc. I have 15+ years experience in Trauma Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Spiritual Growth. Are you ready to be free from the unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and unhealthy coping? Wherever you are on your healing journey, I am here to walk with you...to help you Awaken, Align, and Operate in your highest self. Let's GOOOOO!

I teach clients how to connect with themselves and their heart, to heal deeply rooted trauma/unhealthy beliefs about self and unhealthy behaviors.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, I will gather details of your history, then we will dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

My biggest strengths are connecting with clients and helping them heal. My approach is assisting clients in focusing on their own healing to heal trauma wounds through EMDR and heart-centered work. I teach clients how to connect with themselves and their heart, to heal deeply rooted trauma/unhealthy beliefs about self and unhealthy behaviors.

Ideal clients

I love working with persons who feel "stuck" in life. Those who are unable to see their potential, find the positive, and move forward. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about life.

So far so good. Nivea made me feel comfortable and I opened up easily. I can’t wait until our next session.

I just began my therapy journey with Nivea and what I love about her is that every session feels like real people having real conversations; and not a therapist collecting your emotional baggage for your chart. She is a great listener and will challenge you through thought provoking questions, that makes you realign your thinking towards positive outcomes. She promotes self-care and listens with a non-judgement ear. I would recommend her to anyone.
