Accepting new clients both in person and via telehealth. Are you a deeply emotional person? Do you get sensory overload? Are you experiencing burnout, body pains or illness that doctors think is not medically explained? I practice a mixture of somatic therapy and parts work. Somatic helps you integrate your body and emotions in a way that is not overwhelming. Parts work is about understanding yourself in a way that promotes having a positive relationship with yourself. I love to help clients know and accept themselves through gaining deeper awareness of their internal systems.

Being able to engage in relationships and experience love without the past trauma effecting you. Enjoying time with your family and friends, not constantly worried about work. Actually, allowing yourself to take that beach vacation and not feeling guilty about it. No longer being defined by your past, and instead sharing it with others to pay it forward and help them. This is the life that's waiting for you, the life that's possible for you. If it was possible for me to achieve, then it's possible for you to and I'm going to show you how!

Hello! My goal as a therapist is to create a respectful, compassionate, safe and nurturing environment where you will feel comfortable working through the challenges that are negatively impacting your life. Individual therapy can be a journey focused on healing and self discovery. It can also be a place to start to learn and practice new tools/skills for addressing challenges that are impacting your daily life. I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes to improve their quality of life. Sometimes we all just need a little help getting there.

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.
