Congratulations on taking this step towards lasting change! To have landed right here, right now, part of you is ready to do what's necessary to heal your past. We'll create the safety necessary to move through pain and into the freedom for you to take charge of your life. My style is compassionate & collaborative. I'm a strong Ally, and work well with diverse adults to move from surviving into thriving. I've worked extensively with helping professionals: counselors, MDs, PAs, nurses, OT/PT/STs, LMTs and love it! Mentoring MSWs is also a passion of mine, and I offer licensure and billing supervision and business consulting.
My counseling journey began in 1989. I've experienced deep healing and became driven to help others increase self-worth and vitality. My focus areas are trauma, grief, anxiety, life adjustments, chronic pain/illnesses, health anxiety, professional development, burnout, and imposter syndrome. I'm well versed at helping heal the effects of early trauma/abuse.
Let's halt the talking in circles: we'll integrate counseling, brain science, body awareness, mindfulness, coaching, parts work, motivation hacks, and healthier thoughts and behaviors to lead to significant progress and true healing. We will work together, using well-proven techniques, to integrate disparate selves into a healthier, authentic and whole self.
