About me

You want change but don't know where to start. You might be experiencing debilitating emotional, psychological, and/or physical pain. Or depression that leaves you feeling lost and alone. Maybe you have intense anxiety and fear that prevents you from connecting with those you love and that keeps you from feeling accomplished. Perhaps a slow eroding of your self-esteem has taken root and negatively impacting your abilities to see the wonder and awe in the world. If you are experiencing any of these feelings, emotions, or life challenges, please know that you are not alone. In collaboration we will heal the root of pain and create a path to your heart center where you are free of burdens and able to thrive. I am a skilled clinician who is authentic, intuitive, and focused. My counseling approach is individualized where I draw from current research in brain science, physiology of trauma, counseling, positive psychology, existential philosophy, and mind sight. I provide services in a culturally sensitive and trauma informed manner where you feel safe and capable to ignite your curiosity, where you will gain insight into your heart wisdom and intelligence, and where meaningful releases of painful body sensations and memories happens without being re-traumatized. Positive change is possible. I am here for you.

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

It all starts here in your early attachment experiences- as trauma expert Janina Fisher explains - were your earlier years about your body, mind and nervous system organizing around safety and security or were they organized around defending against possible annihilation and/or abandonment? Using this de-stigmatizing approach allows healing to begin right away as we recognized the survival strategies we incorporated to survive.

She will challenge your way of thinking and ask questions to reveal insights that you didn't know were there or were ignoring the whole time. You will feel the fire that you've been looking for in your first session, but only if you're ready to admit and accept the hard truths of yourself. Get ready to look in the mirror because she'll be waiting to hold it up to you.

Can not say enough good things. I was hesitant about therapy and often have a hard time communicating as I tend to become overwhelmed and shutdown, but I have always felt comfortable and safe speaking freely or even just sitting quietly for a moment to process. I personally also enjoy that she is direct and willing to call me out when I need it. Overall, for me, the cherry on top is that she truly pays attention. She notices the small stuff like subtle shifts in body language. Game Changer!
