My expertise is in helping clients overcome or manage anxiety and depression through healing from traumatic events of their past. I best work with clients who are open to understanding the mind-body connection and the importance of building on their inner strength, positive relationships, and inner wisdom. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is a form of mind-body healing where old, painful events are addressed and metabolized so they aren't carried negatively into the present day any longer. I work with my clients to release painful beliefs and feelings so they can create a new future.

Does your child need help putting their feelings into words? Are they neurodivergent and don't feel like they fit in? Perhaps they are bright, but they don't quite see their gifts. They may feel isolated, alone, or can't help but make negative meaning out of life. I help children heal, grieve, and grow. I help children develop a healthy sense of self and experience their power cooperatively (rather than competitively). I work with children using play therapy to discover their stories and help them change them.

You're lost in the weeds of to-do's, obligations, & responsibilities; your mind a cacophony of distractions clamoring for your attention. At some point, this life you built got so busy that you're no longer enjoying it. Instead, you're overwhelmed by the anxiety of it all; sure that something will go horribly wrong. You tell yourself that these worries aren't real, just scary stories you contemplate- your own "monster under the bed". So you push them to the back of your mind and slap a smile on your face, forging on. Unfortunately, until we open the door to face the boogeyman, that gnawing feeling of dread won't ever really go away.

Energy Psychology Therapists
What are the roots of energy psychology?
Energy psychology is a relatively new modality, yet it combines older techniques from both Eastern and Western medicine—talk therapy and exposure therapy from a Western orientation and energy fields and healing touch from an Eastern orientation. Although these techniques have long existed, they were developed into today’s form of energy psychology and brought to the fore in the 1980s by psychologists including Fred Gallo, Roger Callahan, and David Feinstein.
Is energy psychology a short-term therapy?
Energy psychology is a brief intervention, designed to provide relief to patients quickly. The exact number of sessions a patient requires varies depending on numerous factors, including the condition being treated, the technique being used, and the practitioner's approach. Some patients may begin to improve after only one session. Proponents of energy therapy point out that it is relatively easy to learn, so clients can practice some of the techniques on themselves at home, such as the acceptance, acupressure, and affirmations used in emotional freedom technique.
Does energy therapy work?
The exposure therapy techniques involved in energy psychology, such as recounting a traumatic experience to the therapist, are evidence-based and have long helped individuals address trauma, phobias, and anxiety. As a whole, the practice isn’t as validated as other techniques, but it may be healing for some. Energy psychology involves exposing a client to a distressing memory, object, or situation in the therapy room while providing acupressure or tapping to relieve distress, which is thought to lower the stress and arousal of the body that had become associated with the relevant stimulus.
What are the limitations of energy therapy?
A disadvantage of energy psychology is that the research supporting its effectiveness is not as robust as research supporting the effectiveness of other therapy types, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, specifically the component of body tapping and touching. Some research on energy psychology has also been critiqued for being methodologically flawed.
