About me

I spent the a decade working in the addiction treatment industry. Working in that industry opened my eyes to the need for adequate trauma treatment so I became trained as an EMDR practitioner. In studying mind- body approaches to trauma, such as EMDR, I learned about the effectiveness of Eastern Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation in treating a range of psychological challenges.Personally experiencing the benefits of a mindfulness practice led me to obtain formal training in the study of yoga, Tai Chi and mediation so I could bring those benefits to my clients as well. Currently, I specialize in treating a wide range of psychological challenges using integrative approaches such as mindfulness based and trauma informed approaches.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

My approach the therapy is interactive, humanistic/client centered, trauma informed, mindfulness based and individually tailored to each client's specific needs. I place a great deal of importance building rapport and a strong working relationships because I believe that it is the relationship that provides the avenue for true healing to occur. Clients can expect the session to be interactive, conversational, playful and at times challenging.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have been described as empathic, non judgmental, honest, supportive, understanding and challenging. Some previous clients have described sessions as feeling comfortable like they are speaking with a close friends. Other clients have appreciated the interactive engagement of the session and the honest feedback they receive. Many of my clients stay with me for years.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I best serve clients looking to actively engage in therapy and in their own personal growth and development. I best serve clients who are receptive to feedback and open minded to therapeutic interventions. I am best positioned to serve clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, addiction or codependency in their families/relationships. I am an ideal match for clients who are interested in mindfulness based practices and incorporating Eastern philosophical/spiritual tenets into their growth work.
