Are you a woman who has ever asked herself "Why am I like this?" Because you're feeling caught in a loop of overthinking, people-pleasing, and striving for unreachable perfection? Exhausted by trying to be everything to everyone and getting caught in the spiral of worries? Burdened by unhealed wounds, strained relationships, or that nagging feeling of being stuck and unfulfilled?
Tired of just treating symptoms rather than healing the root causes of your 'stuckness?' Craving a life ignited with purpose, a life where you're thriving, not just surviving, leaving behind the impulse to compare it to everyone else's 'highlight reel'?

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your Brave First Step Towards Change
Our first session is a vital opportunity to lay the foundation for our work together. It's a chance for you to share your story, define your goals for therapy, and start understanding the challenges you're facing. This session is as much about you getting to know me and my approach as it is about me understanding how to tailor our sessions to your needs.
I know how difficult and overwhelming it can feel to start therapy, so if there is anything I can do to help prepare you for the first session or important elements I need to know prior to our first session I hold space for you to reach out and openly express this to me.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My passion for this work comes directly from my own experience with healing emotional wounds, managing overwhelming emotions and burn out, which shifted my focus to healing the collective while I continue on my own journey. Here, you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, peeling back societal expectations and layers of self-doubt.
My approach is one of authenticity and compassion, offering genuine, actionable steps toward recovery. My role is to guide, challenge, and support you at every stage of your journey. We'll work together to release self-doubt, rediscover your passion and purpose, and create a life that truly resonates with who you are.
Heal the Collective Therapy & Wellness Solutions is not just about providing answers, but about exploring new paths, overcoming adversity, and building a life that aligns with your values and desires. Through this process, I believe you can rediscover your inherent strengths and fall in love with the person you truly are. I would be honored and privileged to come along side you to encourage and empower a narrative that is consistent with your purpose and guiding you on this journey of healing from within, as we collectively radiate healing to all.

My treatment methods
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In my therapy sessions, I incorporate Mindfulness-Based Therapy, a technique that brings your attention to the present moment. This approach has been incredibly effective in helping clients navigate through the chaos of overwhelming emotions and thoughts. We focus on cultivating awareness and acceptance, which are key in healing emotional wounds and building resilience.
Mindfulness is like a gentle anchor that brings you back to the now, helping you find calm in the midst of emotional storms. In our sessions, we'll use mindfulness techniques to help you connect with your inner self, fostering a sense of peace and clarity. It's about being present, aware, and compassionate towards yourself.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
My use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is aimed at those particularly struggling with intense emotions and relationship issues. DBT is excellent for teaching skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach has been transformative for many of my clients, especially those dealing with attachment and self-esteem issues.
DBT is like acquiring a toolkit for your emotions and relationships. It empowers you with skills to manage intense feelings, communicate effectively, and improve your relationships. In our sessions, we'll explore these tools together, helping you build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
Feminist
In my practice, Feminist Therapy is a cornerstone approach, especially for clients navigating the complex interplay of personal issues and societal constructs. This therapy goes beyond individual psychology to include cultural, social, and political contexts that influence a woman's experience. My application of Feminist Therapy involves empowering clients to understand and challenge the societal narratives and structures that impact their lives. This approach has been particularly transformative for clients dealing with issues related to gender roles, power imbalances, and self-identity.
Feminist Therapy is about reclaiming your story in a world where you may have felt unheard or unseen. It's not just about personal healing, but also about recognizing and challenging the broader societal influences that shape your experiences. In our sessions, we'll explore how these external factors interweave with your personal journey, empowering you to assert your voice, redefine your identity, and embrace your power. This therapy is about finding strength in your vulnerability and reshaping your narrative on your own terms, in a way that honors your unique experience as a woman.
Integrative
With years of dedicated practice and a deep passion for holistic healing, I have honed my expertise in Integrative Therapy. This approach is not just a method for me; it's a belief in the power of combining diverse therapeutic techniques to offer a more complete, personalized healing experience. My journey in this field has been profoundly rewarding, as I've witnessed countless women reclaim their lives, finding peace and empowerment through this comprehensive approach.
How I Use Integrative Therapy in My Practice
In my practice, Integrative Therapy is the cornerstone of how I assist each client. Recognizing that no single therapy suits all, I blend various therapeutic modalities to create a tailored experience for every individual. This bespoke approach ensures that each session addresses the specific needs, challenges, and goals of the client.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Starting with a thorough understanding of each client’s unique story, I craft a treatment plan that integrates the most effective therapies for their specific situation. This plan is dynamic and evolves as we progress, always aligning with the client's growth and changing needs.
Holistic Approach: My integrative method goes beyond treating symptoms. It delves into the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual realms, ensuring a comprehensive healing journey. From Root Cause Therapy to Somatic and Parts Therapy, each technique is selected to harmonize the mind, body, and soul.
Empowering the Client: A key aspect of my approach is empowering clients to take an active role in their healing process. Through techniques like Inner Child Work and Shadow Work, clients gain profound insights into their own psyche, fostering self-awareness and self-compassion, crucial steps towards lasting change.
Creating a Safe Space: My role is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. This space is where deep, transformative work takes place, as clients explore and heal their deepest wounds in a supportive and non-judgmental setting.
Continual Growth and Learning: I am committed to my own continuous professional development, ensuring that I stay abreast of the latest advancements in therapy. This commitment to growth means clients always receive the most effective, evidence-based care.
My integrative approach is more than a treatment method; it's a journey towards wholeness, where every woman is guided to rediscover her true self, heal from the past, and embrace a future filled with potential and joy.
Attachment-based
Attachment-Based Therapy is a key part of my therapeutic approach, particularly beneficial for individuals grappling with attachment issues, often rooted in early relationships with primary caregivers. This approach has proven effective in addressing deep-seated patterns in relationships and self-perception. It helps clients understand and heal from the impact of early attachment experiences on their current emotional health and relationships.
Attachment-Based Therapy helps in exploring the roots of your relational patterns. It’s like uncovering the map of your emotional world that was charted in your earliest relationships. We'll work together to understand these patterns and how they influence your current relationships and self-image. This understanding is a powerful step towards developing healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self.
