You deserve to feel balanced and strong. You deserve a meaningful and full life. Stress, anxiety and trauma can manifest in our bodies in a variety of ways which can impact our ability to experience happiness and clarity. My practice focuses on adults who have issues with anxiety, depression and trauma. I integrate the perspective of resiliency and take a strength-based approach to inspire change. It is not so much what happens in life as how we respond to life events that shapes our future. Through our work together, you can experience an improved quality of life.
I specialize in trauma work and have been trained several modalities that are evidence based, effective processes. It is possible to reprocess trauma without talking about it. A single traumatic event can be resolved in from one to five sessions. The event is not forgotten, but it no longer carries any emotional reaction.
We can work together to get you to a better place, to build happiness and fulfillment into your life. Life is about the journey and each of us can build the life we choose through self awareness and effort. I honor each individual's journey and tailor interventions to your needs and goals.
