If you wake up every morning feeling exhausted, like you slept fitfully, and something is missing in your life , or something is unfulfilled, I can help! Lingering trauma can diminish your quality of life and diminish your joy with life's experiences leaving you feeling empty and lost. but do not worry: there is hope, and you are not lost forever. All you need is a gentle guide to support you through your healing, and that is where I come in.
I use diverse therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Interventions, Executive Functioning, Mindfulness Based Interventions and Client Centered Techniques to support you. I work to ensure that you feel valued on your journey to wholeness. I tailor my practices to address your unique goals and needs as you seek healing.
At the core of my approach is the goal of helping you embrace your power and realize that you have so much more control over your reality than you previously believed, and you can create miracles. "Self-worth comes from one thing - thinking that you are worthy." - Wayne Dyer is quote that I believe in, and I strive to achieve within our work together.
