LCSW, 14 years of experience
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) currently eligible to see Telehealth clients in California and Florida. I have been practicing Holistic Psychotherapy in my private practice for 7 years specializing in Hypnotherapy and trauma resolution. I assist adults to navigate life transitions such as grief, heartbreak, career changes, healing from trauma or outdated versions of themselves, so they can feel more free and present in everyday life.
My intention for our first meeting is for us to get introduced and to answer any questions you may have. After you feel comfortable I would like to hear about what it is that you have been feeling stuck with and what you are looking to accomplish or think about together through our meetings. Information from our first meeting will help me begin to create a tailored plan of action for us to collaborate and accomplish your goals.
Through my many years working with Veterans I have had the opportunity to gain experience addressing many complex issues such as PTSD, sexual trauma, MST, grief, depression, anxiety and relationship issues. This unique work has provided the space to enhance and develop skills that have proven to be effective and provide desired results to my clients. My training in RRT and Hypnotherapy has enhanced my skills in relieving suffering and painful emotions quickly and without the participant having to relive any disturbing events or being re-traumatized through treatment. It is always my intention to provide healing in a comfortable and pain free way. This knowledge also allows me to teach my clients how their mind and body works on multiple levels so they have a greater ability to shift their emotions and have more power in their lives. My background and training in Clinical Nutrition also gives me a unique perspective and ability to notice physical or nutrition issues that may be affecting someones mental and emotional health. I will give recommendations if the client is open to receiving assistance in this area. Through having a Holistic perspective I have found it easier to create lasting healing and change in a person’s life.
I love working with professional individuals who are interested in their self development and growth. My clients are looking for an alternative medicine and more natural, solution focused approach to mental health. They are open to healing and are willing to learn and implement new methods and behaviors to move them towards experiencing their personal level of optimal functioning. They have often felt stuck, overwhelmed or distraught over a past or present change or event in their life or they are looking to improve their relationships.
Hypnotherapy helps alleviate painful effects of trauma, grief, heartbreak and limiting beliefs by accessing the subconscious or automatic mind. It allows my clients to reframe traumatic memories, dissolve limiting beliefs, and create positive associations quickly and without having to re-live painful experiences. By enhancing coping strategies and promoting a more positive self-perception, I have found hypnotherapy to be a helpful contribution to the healing process. I have extensive training and am listed as a Rapid Resolution Therapy Practitioner, currently hold a Certification in Hypnotherapy for PTSD and Trauma Resolution and am Certified as a Fellow Member of the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.
