Hello, Thank you for reviewing my profile. Briefly; I am Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Professional cCounselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with adult professional women dealing with anxiety, depression, past unresolved trauma, grief, stress and relationship issues. My philosophy is that life is not meant to live alone and in isolation. We need positive human beings to 'see' us and bear witness to our lives in order for us to become fully human. We need meaningful experiences to help us navigate this journey called life. My training as a Naturopathic Doctor affords me a lens to also consider and integrate your physical health, diet & lifestyle practices for your overall well-being. So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed, going through the motions and feel stuck in chaotic relationships and confusion that drains you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to get you unstuck and get your life back on track to experience purposeful living. It is here where our paths intersect. It is my intention that you to 'prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers' 3 John 2.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session you can expect a comprehensive intake. This usually takes about an hour. Here I will be asking a variety of questions examining the areas of your past and current relationships to get a sense of the factors that contributes to the ways your see and respond to yourself and others. I have been known to ask you the 'magic-wand' question: What would be different in your life after your therapy with me; the intention is to help establish a direction for reasonable, specific and achievable goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As I have been in the work for over a decade, I 'm cleared-eye on shining a light on a path that can be a positive factor in your life. I challenge dysfunctional and maladaptive strictures in your mindsets and often give you therapeutic exercises, with the intention that you become emotionally aware of the undercurrent of internal vows that you may have subconsciously subscribed to in your life. The end goal is that you graduate from therapy with a level of confidence and wellbeing that makes a positive difference in your life.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a foundational feature of my therapeutic work. I teach clients skills and techniques to calibrate their emotions and consequently their mood. I focus on the process that helps clients become unstuck from the negative spiral of predominantly negative thoughts, using practical strategies to replace dysfunctional and maladaptive thinking with more useful, functional and adaptive mindsets.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use the way our brain & mind works to introduce practical and tangible ways we can mitigate levels of overwhelm, stress, anxiety or depression with mindfulness techniques and visualization skills.
EMDR
Many client are stuck in a mood-state that is a function of past unresolved trauma. In cases when I assess that trauma-work would benefit clients; I first teach how eye-movements often addresses the underlying stuck and stagnated traumas with the aim of mitigating its negative effects on their lives. I have been trained in both Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Multi-channel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) and witness how it provides therapeutic value for my clients.
Mind-body approach
I approach my work with each client with an understanding that they are an integrated whole being of body/soul/spirit. When a client seeks out therapeutic counseling, they are on the trajectory for change. In this regard I also consider how to help them with diet & lifestyle changes for wholistic positive results. I join them in their therapeutic journey to teach and show how life can be lived with buoyancy. I teach skills, strategies, techniques and offer practical ways they can re-integrate the fragmented areas of their lives into a functioning whole.
Integrative
Integration is a key to restoring fragmented parts of our being. My training as a Mental Health Counselor (LPC/LMHC) and a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (NMD) is a fundamental part of my world-view and therapeutic approach.
