As a Licensed Psychotherapist in Florida, Georgia, and New Hampshire, I am dedicated to fostering healing and personal growth through an integrative approach to mental health. My practice is built on the belief that true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit, and this conviction led me to embrace the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method as a powerful tool in my therapeutic work. With extensive training in trauma-informed care, I have witnessed the profound impact that somatic practices can have on emotional and psychological healing. The Trauma Conscious Yoga Method not only complements traditional psychotherapy but also enhances my clients' ability to process trauma at a deeper level. By merging mindfulness-based yoga techniques with evidence-based therapeutic practices, I create a safe space where individuals can explore their feelings, release tension, and cultivate resilience. My approach is tailored to meet each client's unique needs, blending talk therapy with mindful movement and breathwork. This experiential method empowers clients to reconnect with their bodies, develop greater self-awareness, and foster a sense of grounding and stability. I am passionate about guiding individuals on their journeys toward healing, helping them reclaim their stories and find peace in their bodies. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life stressors, or the lasting effects of trauma, my goal is to empower you to reclaim your narratives and move toward a place of balance and inner peace. I am here to support you in discovering the strength and tools you possess within. Together, we can embark on a transformative path toward wellness and self-empowerment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Starting therapy can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking, so it's completely normal to have a mix of emotions. I want to assure you that I'm here to support you throughout the process, and together we will create a safe space for your healing and growth. During our initial session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship. This foundation is essential for effective therapy, as it helps establish trust and creates an environment where you feel comfortable opening up and sharing your thoughts and experiences. We'll spend some time getting to know each other, and I encourage you to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process or my role as your therapist. Next, I will guide you through an exploration of your reasons for seeking therapy and the specific concerns or challenges you would like to address. This discussion will help us clarify your therapy goals and set a roadmap for our work together. It's important to remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and your input and preferences are essential to the success of our sessions. You can expect a non-judgmental and confidential space where you have the freedom to express yourself openly. Therapy is a place where you can share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism. It's okay to feel vulnerable or unsure at times, as this is often a natural part of the therapeutic journey. Throughout our sessions, I'll actively listen and ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your experiences. Together, we will explore different therapeutic techniques and approaches that align with your needs and goals. If necessary, I may also recommend additional resources or referrals to enhance your therapy experience. Lastly, it's common to experience a range of emotions after a therapy session. Some people may feel relief, while others might feel a temporary intensification of emotions. Everyone's experience is unique, so please remember to be gentle with yourself and practice self-care in the days following our session.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
In my counseling practice, I use an integrative treatment approach, which means I combine different therapeutic techniques and theories tailored to your unique needs. This approach allows me to draw from various methods—such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches—to create a personalized treatment plan. My goal is to provide comprehensive support that addresses multiple aspects of your well-being, helping you achieve greater insight, healing, and growth.
Somatic
I incorporate somatic treatment methods, which focus on the connection between the mind and body. This approach helps you become more aware of physical sensations, feelings, and responses that may be connected to your emotional experiences. By working with the body, we can access and process stored trauma or stress more effectively, promoting a deeper sense of calm, grounding, and emotional healing.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I use culturally sensitive therapy methods, which means I recognize and respect each person's cultural background, beliefs, and experiences. I aim to create a safe and inclusive space where your cultural identity is valued and integrated into our work together. This approach helps ensure that the support I provide is relevant and respectful to your unique cultural perspectives, fostering more effective and meaningful healing.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma-informed care methods, which means I approach our work with an understanding of how trauma can impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel empowered and validated. By recognizing the effects of trauma, we can work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on healing and building resilience.
