Hello, my name is Pema (Pay-Ma) and I want to help you feel better. To live your best life as your best self. By healing the past and supporting you in courageously facing the present for a better tomorrow. As you can see, I speak in cliches and dad jokes mostly. But, I promise you that I get results! I have numerous client testimonials over my 10+ years of practice. Clients went from suffering with trauma, depression, anxiety or relationship issues, to thriving with healthy romantic relationships, improved holistic wellness, dramatically reduced symptoms over time and overall increasing happiness.
Studies show that clients in regular therapy see major benefits in mental, physical, relational and financial health. My Specialties Are Romantic relationships and Attachment Psychology: Healing from past romantic hurts, and finding and keeping secure healthy love. Self-Esteem and Confidence building. Art therapy both stock and improvisational
I am a proud cultural Nerd, Athlete, and LGBTQIA+ ally/member! I love my anime, video games, bodybuilding, recreational soccer games, light yoga and martial arts practices! I’m big on spirituality and have read the entire Bible and thousands of pages of the Buddhist scripture (Dharma). I daily practice mindfulness, connection to a higher power, and yoga.
