I'm so glad you found your way here. Seeking treatment is an indication of being ready for change and having a new experience of life. I'm an insight oriented therapist meaning I assist clients in illuminating their inner workings and wounds that have created struggles in their lives. I work at a level of healing and empowering with the intention to offer guidance rather than to instruct. You are the expert of your life. Together we take a look at what needs to be addressed and resolved then move into recognizing one's own strengths, value, and worth. This allows individuals to move into greater appreciation and acceptance of self. I have worked for several years with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a strong focus on personal acceptance, self-compassion, and resolution of internal conflicts based in trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, or lack of direction and focus in one’s life. I specialize in substance abuse and addiction treatment. Having been in recovery for 10 years myself, I understand the journey of ending the cycle of self destruction and moving to a place of healing and greater peace.
In my work as a therapist, I aim to guide you toward reconnection, recovery, and embrace of your core self. My gift is to look within and see an individual’s strength, power and potential. Of course, you will be the one to bring that forth. My role is merely to provide the space for you to do so. I may tell you what I see and how you may fully sit in your wholeness and divine power. In my work with others, my goal has been to assist them in starting out on their own path using self-trust and personal truth, which I consider paramount for all beings. My hope is that as a result of our work together you will experience greater peace, personal acceptance, and clarity in your life goals and direction.
As a Therapist I have been able to bring into my professional life what I have always strived to exhibit personally; a high regard, concern, and respect for the true nature and wellbeing of human beings. Enabling people to see themselves in a positive loving light in order to experience peace and self regard is what I hope to offer you in our work together. I also bring my personal experience with trauma, addiction, and an eating disorder as well as other life challenges to offer insight, comfort and reassurance that a path forward is possible. I bring humor, kindness, encouragement, and enthusiasm into every therapy session I conduct, in other words, I share my true, vibrant authentic self with you!
For anyone seeking deep and focused healing work and resolution. Whether manifesting as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, disruption in relationships or general life dissatisfaction, I work with the individual to uncover root causes and enable true healing experiencing their true self and full potential. Once roots causes are identified, we can begin the work of healing and creating internal restoration. I’m so glad you found your way here. It is my belief that synchronicity will always lead us towards our own personal development. And, here you are– no coincidences. My focus is to help you unlock your true potential, and enable your full authentic self to shine. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #107082) with several years of clinical and private practice experience. I have worked with individuals from 5-65 years old in the pursuit of healing, growth, and flourishing. I help individuals, couples, and families navigate the challenges of trauma, crisis, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, spirituality, self-regard, and self-destructive behaviors. I consider myself to be a holistic healer, utilizing many forms of treating the individual taking into account the body, mind and spirit. The path in life that I have walked is one of continuous growth, awareness, and evolution, a search for truth and the experience of personal freedom. At points in my life it has been difficult to find my footing or a way to love and accept myself. Yet here I am, today, walking and dancing my way through life. The amazing thing about recovery, restoration, and peace is that once we achieve it, we are able to give it away like a beautiful, energizing beam. I have a vision where truth, freedom, love, and harmony prevail. Recreating our world begins one person at a time, each discovering their truth and aligning with it. If you feel called, that is the work I’d like to do with you as a simple facilitator of your personal exploration of your journey and how you may find yourself on your way towards a different experience of life.
