Great to meet you!

My main areas of focus include women's issues, grief/life adjustments, trauma, anxiety and depression. I am trained in EMDR and Reiki Level III offering a unique approach to emotional, mental and energetic wellness of each individual. I utilize a Trauma-Focused lens as we all experience impacts to our nervous system throughout life to some degree. I have experience working with children ages 4-18 for 6 years and adults 18-65 years old for of various demographics, ethnicities and treatment needs.

My approach to therapy

I believe in meeting clients where they are at. I seek to understand each individual holistically, including their backgrounds and the strengths they already possess to provide an individualized approach. Through establishing a strong alliance, I partner with my clients to explore and address thought and behavior patterns that serve as barriers to enjoying life fully.

What you can expect from me

We live in a world that will break us open at times, beckoning us to grow and overcome and we aren’t meant to walk this journey of life alone. I would be honored to hold space for you to help facilitate connection with your own inner healer, as all of the answers and medicine is held inside of our Self. I am here to walk with and support you as you heal and regain parts of yourself back as a whole sovereign being.
