I am a survivor of emotional, sexual, and physical abuse. My childhood was spent in a cult. Through the intervention of close friends, I was encouraged to see a psychotherapist, and she changed my life. I understand being different, not fitting in, sexual compulsivity, and what real love feels like.
Ultimately, we are responsible for our own lives, and a compassionate, honest therapist can expedite the healing process.
My master's degree is in Counseling Psychology, with a specialization in Transpersonal Psychology. Transpersonal means integrating a person's spiritual orientation, if they have one, in the healing process.
I specialize in healing trauma. I am an EMDRIA EMDR Consultant, meaning I have the tools to heal trauma, usually very quickly. Having survived an extremely traumatic childhood, I understand what it takes to heal and claim your life. My training in Gestalt and Psychodynamic Psychology gives me many tools to access pain and heal it.
I believe that my primary gift is hope for a better tomorrow.
