Using an Integrative, Humanistic approach along with
Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I support clients overcome limited beliefs, increase their confidence, gain insights into their relationship patterns and use somatic and embodiment processes to work through difficult emotions.
My clients are looking for a compassionate guide to help them build confidence, reduce anxiety and overcome negative limited beliefs. When we are overwhelmed and isolated, life can feel unmanageable. Together we can find a new way forward. I support my clients in working through grief, anxiety, anger, and depression through an integrated approach that increases emotional intelligence, building meaningful relationships, challenging negative self talk. When we can resolve our own internal conflicts we can be empowered in ways that deepen our connections with others.

I use a
trauma focused
, internal family system approach, to assist individuals and families to rediscover the peace and regulation necessary for relationships to form and sustain.
Relationship is regulation dependent. Do you suffer from chronic dysregulation? Do you need support with healthy, connected relationship? I can help you find the peace that you long for. I can assist you in giving and receiving the love that gets pushed away, due to dysregulation and pain. I am adopted. I am an adoptive parent, as well as a step parent. I both live and work with intensive treatment special needs children and families. Childhood developmental complex trauma hits hard; relationships need regulated individuals to be safe and enjoyable. Learning to calm down, be mindful, and enjoy life takes practice and skill.

Our grief and longing draw us closer to our truest selves and help us surrender to being reshaped. Are you aware of what is withering inside of you to make room for the flowering of your Truest Self? Together we do more than just "fix" what troubles you...together we "craft the medicine" that truly heals.

When I work with the pain of depression, anxiety, fear, isolation or trauma, often my clients' inclinations are to resist it, to stuff it, to pretend it's not happening or to judge themselves for these seemingly intrusive feelings. What if these emotions are surfacing because your mind and body wisdom are giving you the signal, through these experiences that your attentiveness and compassion are being requested? I believe that emotions arise to move through and to assist us in growth and well-being. They contain important messages of wholeness. It is a privilege to witness your unique expression as an individual.

I believe we all have the ability to change and grow. I work with Individuals and Couples who want to improve their lives. Trauma can keep us stuck in dysregulated emotional states. Isolation can make change difficult. Life transitions can be hard to navigate. Communication with loved ones can be challenging during conflicts. Abandonment and other relationship injuries are best healed in a relationship with a safe and secure person. As you contemplate creating change, you may find yourself in need of help and support. If you find yourself stuck and in emotional pain, collaboration with a therapist can begin your journey to healing.

Even the children of dedicated, responsible parents can develop behavioral or emotional problems as they move through childhood and adolescence. Sometimes the acting out or other worrisome behaviors occur only at home. Other times, the difficulties erupt at school. Or both. Perhaps what you or the school has tried isn't working. You may be blaming yourself even though it is not your fault. At these times, an experienced child therapist can help you and your family get back on track.
