As humans, I know that we all struggle with past traumas and old programs installed by our culture, family or even our own selves. I have also learned how important it is to have a space to explore those burdens with curiosity so we can assess how they are affecting us in our current life.  

 

As a therapist, my goal is to provide you with a calm, open space to do just that. Together, we can explore the things that weigh you down, learn the lessons they have provided you and do the work to set them down so you can free up space and energy within yourself to create more of what you do want in your life.

​

I also believe that each person is the expert or “author”ity in their own life and knows better than anyone else what they truly need.  I see myself as a facilitator, one who can help you learn to connect with your own inner guidance since you know what is best for you to achieve balance and healing. In fact, that is my ultimate goal as a Therapist. I strive to help you connect with your inner self and hear and trust what it is telling you.

 

I practice from a holistic, strengths based lens. This means that I recognize that our mental wellness impacts every part of our whole selves. This includes our bodies, our relationships with ourselves, others and the world as well as our sexuality, spirit, creativity, purpose, and heart.

 

As a holistic practitioner, I love to approach healing from various perspectives. This can be through the use of books, articles, music, movement, art, sound, workshops, groups and writing (one of my favorite modalities)!

 

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I also utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as a way to get stuck energy moving and help you reframe and overcome any issue you are dealing with. This approach uses bi-lateral stimulation with eye movement, similar to EMDR, but unlike EMDR, you do not have to talk about the issue in depth. It can have profound and lasting effects and provide you with deep insights in a very short period of time.  It often only takes, on average, one to three sessions to resolve a specific issue and it can be a great compliment to work you are already doing with me or in collaboration wirh another Therapist.  I often work with clients who have another Therapist and work with me just on Accelerated Resolution Therapy on a short or long term basis.

​

ART has been proven to work with almost any issue: trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, panic attacks, PTSD, performance anxiety, victimization, poor self image, relationship issues, infidelity, codependency, grief, job related stress, pain management as well as just helping you understand how to deal with a specific situation.

 

Basically, I just really enjoy connecting with other humans and feel honored to be let into their inner world.  My hope is to help you develop a sense of ease about life.  You know, enjoyment! I look forward to providing you space to drop what no longer serves you and reconnect with your own innate, authentic self.
