As a practitioner of Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. I assist clients in a process of deep self-discovery using ETT, psychotherapy, and movement. ETT can help clients to heal more effectively from long-standing and painful patterns than traditional talk therapies alone. I treat a wide variety of conditions that prevent people from living an optimum life. My ideal client is committed to change, may have been in prior therapy that has not yet shifted fundamental maladaptive patterns, and open to new ways of thinking and feeling about themselves.

Have you found yourself struggling in your relationship with God and/or with others? Do you feel like you have hit a roadblock?

My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for you to process through your pain. I will raise questions and offer coping techniques where needed. You will learn problem-solving skills, gain insight on how to have a healthier perspective toward issues, and may find your symptoms from past traumas alleviated.

The imposter syndrome leads you to strive for perfection, which can often feel all-consuming as you face overwhelming amounts of pressure to “perform, and prove yourself” in various areas of your life. As imposter feelings arise, you become anxious about being perceived incompetent, making mistakes, and not meeting self-imposed expectations. Working overtime, not asking for help, burnout, and patterns of procrastination become all too familiar. You may feel confused and uncertain about your future life goals. You worry about not making enough money, taking a risk and failing, or being a disappointment to your family and loved ones.

Resiliency describes a person's ability to survive, and even thrive, in the face of extraordinary challenges and adversities. I believe that each client, no matter their age or the challenges they face, exhibits a great deal of resiliency before ever beginning therapy. My approach focuses on harnessing each client's unique strengths to help them accomplish the positive, lasting changes they most desire. While the goals of the child or young person are the central focus of treatment, I often work closely with parents/caregivers to enhance communication, strengthen relationships, and foster ongoing systems of support.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are ready to discover healthier coping skills to deal with life stressors in a supportive and non-judgmental space. Together, with my support and guidance, we can discover your inner-voice and navigate through difficult circumstances towards your individual goals and your own life direction. I encourage my clients to explore undiscovered parts of themselves as well as patterns of behavior that are no longer serving them.
