Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Do you question who you even are? Maybe past hurts keep you held back. Don’t know where to start or who you could even be outside of the trauma or hardships you’ve faced? These can be scary questions to ask yourself and scary memories to discuss. Good news is you’re not alone. I believe the only way out is through. I have experience working with many in this exact situation and have been on my own journey of self-discovery. Our thoughts shape our reality and with some effort and guidance it is possible to change our thought process and turn our life in the direction we want to go. I utilize both traditional (CBT, TFCBT, Existential, Solution-Focused, etc.) and non-traditional (Reiki, astrology, breath work, meditation, somatic body work, etc.) methods to help you navigate this process. As a LMHC, certified Life Coach & Certified Reiki Practitioner I specialize in helping people heal and navigate their path to discover who they are.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together I love getting to know you and your background. I want to know what brought you to counseling, what you want to work on and what your desired outcome looks like. I like to know you as a person including what you like about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am able to provide a safe, empathetic atmosphere that puts clients at ease and feel comfortable talking. I can identify patterns that may be holding them back and provide alternative perspectives to help them see other paths of possibility and improve their view of self. Most importantly I can make the healing journey fun and enjoyable despite the difficulties they may have faced and provide unwavering support through the tough subjects.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with adults across the lifespan, 20 and up who want to work on their past trauma, discover the generational patterns and conditioning that has been holding them back. They are often questioning who they are and what direction they want to go in life. They struggle with self esteem and confidence or feeling unworthy of what they desire. Many have an understanding that changes need to be implemented but do not know where to start.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have utilized CBT and trauma focused CBT in sessions since starting in practice. I utilize this method to help clients understand how their cognitions and behavior relate to each other, how they help or hinder them and provide exercises, methods and modalities to help create new neural pathways resulting in improved cognitions and changed behaviors.

Integrative

I utilize various modalities and methods based on the client's unique needs and presenting problems. The modalities I incorporate include both traditional (CBT, solution focused, TFCBT, DBT, etc) and non-traditional (energy healing, astrology, breath work, life coaching, meditation, somatic body work, etc) to help clients navigate their healing journey.
