I have worked with a variety of clients affected by trauma, perinatal mood/anxiety disorders, addiction, and eating disorders. What each of them has taught me is that recovery is possible and it's different for everyone. I focus on collaborative, client-centered therapy to treat the whole person utilizing EMDR, CBT, and DBT resources to assist my clients in developing insight and understanding the root of behavioral patterns in their lives. Humor, although underrated, is often woven into the therapeutic process!

I have been on my own personal growth journey for the past 29 years and have integrated my learning in a way that it is easily shared with others. I practice mind/body/spirit healing and have been able to help others address all aspects of their addictive patterns, dependency issues, and mood/anxiety challenges. I facilitate a range of groups, including: Women's Empowerment, Parenting, and Step Family. I utilize many different techniques (per the client's comfort level). Some examples: meditation, mindfulness, psychodrama, guided visualizations, EFT, EMDR and Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.
