Do you need guidance in finding happiness and fulfillment in your life? Do you need someone who can help find your strengths? Are you having trouble achieving healthy relationships because of childhood wounds, traumatic experiences or low self esteem? I believe that your past experience made you who you are today. What happened to you will always be a part of you, but it should not define you. I'm here to help you process your past and together we will plan your future. Don't leave yourself alone with your suffering. Let's work together to find meaningful purpose in your life's turmoil. Emotional and psychological traumas happen to everyone. It can be caused by a one time event, ongoing relentless stress or commonly overlooked events such as work, death, break-up/divorce, surgery, humiliating experience or childhood attachment wounds. Working through trauma alone is daunting, lonely, re-traumatizing. A trauma specialist can help with your healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our work together will be a collaboration between you and me. As a trauma therapist, I believe that we are who we are because of what happened to us. I believe that you are the expert of your life and you have the answers inside you. I am equipped with the right questions and also have the training to guide you in making changes in your life. Our work involves radical self love and acceptance despite the traumas, the hurt, the disappointments you have gone through. You and I will create Your Mindfulness Toolbox for you to practice and utilize when stressors, uncertainties and triggers come up. You may also receive some articles, podcast and videos that may help in your journey with me.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a former medic for 13 years, a yoga and mindfulness practitioner & a leader of a community that empowers women, my approach is humanistic, person centered & mindfulness based. Let me help you show up as your true authentic self.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Teaching coping skills to help the client manage distressing emotions and symptoms related to trauma.
Trauma-Focused CBT

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS therapy is a deeply compassionate and effective approach that empowers clients to understand and heal their internal systems, fostering self-leadership and inner harmony. Help the client recognize when parts are activated in daily life and encourage them to respond from their Self rather than react automatically. Suggest practices like pausing and internally asking, “Which part of me is feeling this way right now, and what does it need?” to cultivate ongoing awareness and integration of IFS principles.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Having unconditional positive regard to my patients. Allowing the client to lead the conversation and explore their own thoughts and feelings. Accepting and valuing the client without judgment, regardless of what they share.
