Welcome – You have started the process of finding the right therapist for you, and that’s huge! Reaching out is a big step and can sometimes feel scary. I promise that I will keep your information confidential, keep the room non-judgmental and assure you that I will create a safe place to explore your ideas, beliefs and experiences. Give yourself the gift of healing and health by reaching out today.
In our first session, we will discuss what you hope to accomplish with therapy and your current needs. Together, we will come up with a plan for the best ways to get you there. I provide services using a secure online platform, where you can seek help in the comfort of your own home.
Your healing journey is your own. I use a client centered approach, which allows you autonomy to heal your way. I also use a mind-body approach to healing, by creating a safe space to slow down and connect with yourself, in a way that fosters healing and growth from the inside out. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and use a trauma informed approach that empowers you to set your own goals and manage your progress at your own pace.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist (LMHC Hawaii) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC Ohio), with over 15 years in the field, treating adults and teenagers, specializing in Trauma Counseling, Women’s Issues, Parenting Issues, Life Challenges and Severe Mental Illness.
