I am an older woman, who simply grew up confused within most of my own life. Things in my family were hard, and there seemed to be nobody who had any answers, so I grew up trying to figure things out, and I did not always do a great job. I now do a much better job in my own life, and here to help others with figuring out their own life paths, choices, anxieties/depressions/etc. My struggles eventually lead me to this role, as a therapist, a counselor, teacher, guide, support for the many others who are having a hard time figuring "it" out. I use a direct, honest, root-digging approach that seeks to heal at the core, allowing for release of attachments and agreements made long ago - many of these lead to feelings/thoughts/behaviors within shame, guilt, feelings of being a burden or just not good enough, codependency, anger, anxieties, depressions, people-pleasing - simply to just survive the day.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will include an explanations of policies, HIPPA , late cancel and no-shows, as well as a Biopsychosocial Assessment of you, to help me get to know you, your goals, and some of your story. Our sessions moving forward you will begin to learn mindfulness, understand the brain and bodies reactions to stressors, the various stages of development from pre-birth to the present, and all the stuff in between. Your story will be the center of the work, as you work to overcome unhelpful Narratives that no longer serve a purpose for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths include my being older, my long-sought knowledge throughout my life, definitely my sense of humor which I use as we Interweave difficult topics, and my creative brain that seeks new solutions for old problems. I sit alongside you, cry or laugh, or just simply talk. Providing new ways of thinking, shifting perspectives, and having grown up in my own cultures helps me to better understand yours.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
focus on the thoughts and feelings developed around unsettling moments in life that get stuck. By processing and moving them to truths, clearing happens in Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
You are You, based on Your Culture, your teachings, your families, and the lessons you took in during your life. While all cultures are similar, they are not the same. Yours was learned in your family, your neighborhood, your cultural learnings and traditions. This is important to Understanding, Knowing, and Healing You. I seek to understand all.
EMDR
This approach is simply being called a "miracle therapy" by many, and it really does work wonders. Once we dig up some roots, and get into the stages of development, EMDR is a wonderful tool I use to lift whatever is stuck, and just simply move it out of you. Old thoughts, feelings, guilts, shames, things that seem to weigh you down. EMDR works to help shift, lift, and replace.
