My intention as a holistic therapist is to help facilitate what I believe our purpose here is on earth, which is to become the best versions of ourselves. I help you process and work through traumas, toxic relationships, addictions, and/or poor coping skills that prevent you from becoming your best self. I have a background in inpatient mental health facilities, intensive outpatient facilities, but primarily outpatient mental health care. I received my undergraduate degree from University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign and gained my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Illinois School of Professional Psychology.
In our first session, we will go over your intake form, I also have intake questions of my own, and we will come up with a treatment plan with goals so you know what to expect from our work together! This is also a good chance to see if we are a good fit, if we are not, I do not take it personally. Everyone has their own preference and the goal is to get you better!
My biggest strengths as a therapist are trauma informed modalities. I am a Level I and II EMDR trained therapist, and am a CCTP, which is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I also have training in incorporating yoga for trauma work. I find that the benefits of trauma work are vast and the most productive and effective modality that I have to offer. I am a registered yoga instructor, certified Ayurveda counselor and have am Reiki Level II Practitioner.
Since I specialize in trauma, this is the most effective form of trauma treatment to date, proven by research and evidence based practices.
I have a holistic perspective to healing mind, body and spirit, which has shown to be effective with any symptomology.
