I am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in treating trauma. My approach is holistic, focusing on the whole body and meeting each Client where they are in their journey. Together, we will not only discuss coping skills but also explore what Clients are doing for themselves outside our sessions. I believe in the power of self-care and the importance of nourishing the mind, body, and spirit. We will explore topics such as eating well, incorporating movement into your day, building connections with others, and overall wellness practices.

My approach is holistic, focusing on the whole body and meeting each Client where they are in their journey.

Mental wellness is a journey, and my goal is to help you restore balance and begin to enjoy life again. I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing and well-being. Let's start this restorative journey together.

First session

In our first session we learn about each other and dive into the challenges you are faced with. Together we create goals and agree to work toward those goals.

Strengths

A cornerstone of my approach involves empowering clients to discover valuable insights about themselves, acquire new coping skills, and engage in self-discovery throughout our therapeutic partnership. I firmly believe that progress can manifest in various forms, from improved sleep patterns to setting healthier boundaries in relationships or simply being able to take a moment to breathe deeply.I

Ideal clients

When considering embarking on this therapeutic journey with me, it is essential to approach our work with honesty and openness. At each session, I strive to meet you where you are, leveraging your inherent resilience and personal resources to foster meaningful and lasting change.

Treatment methods

Mind-body approach
