Many people seeking therapy are simply sensitive souls in need of new or different ways of protecting themselves in a world which does not always honor the intuitive, sensitive, and creative self. I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and obsessional thinking that I believe often results from highly sensitive creative individuals lacking an outlet for expressing and/or understanding themselves.
In session I tend to incorporate mindfulness practices and guided meditation/imagery to help clients challenge early woundings and harness their creative potential. Additionally, I am Reiki Master Certified; I also incorporate energy healing into many of my client sessions as I believe non-verbal trauma associated can become stored in the body.
I strive to heal the restless and weary souls that are aware of their own internal struggles but lack the skills to manage their highly reflective and at times painfully aware self. As spiritual beings having oftentimes painful human experiences, I hope to help guide and heal you together here
