Welcome! I am open and affirming to all adults. My office is physically challenged accessible, as I believe all should have equal opportunities. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy, helping you connect your past events to your present day behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which helps you accept the present moment for what it is. Talk Therapy is also important to purge our feelings in a safe space, while learning strategies. I also offer Spiritual counseling for those struggling in the awakening process.

My belief is in whole heart healing...that is, healing of the mind, body and soul. I believe that people have the tools to help heal themselves, but with all of the toxic energy that is around us, those tools get buried or are forgotten. I like to see myself as a conduit for the person's change, evolution and healing. The way I work with clients is to help them find those tools within themselves-teach them new ways to use them in order to become healthy and stay healthy. I work with couples and individuals with a focus on women and women's issues.

CURRENTLY TELEHEALTH ONLY DUE TO COVID19 Do you notice certain patterns repeating in your life and in your relationships? Or physical symptoms that might be a result of emotional stress? Or maybe you have no idea why you don't feel your best. Perhaps you've even spoken to a therapist, but still feel stuck. Did you know that imbalances in your emotional well being can cause dis-ease in your body? I can help you analyze the patterns in your life, find your inner strength and utilize your inner resources to find better energetic balance.

Congratulations on taking a step towards change and feeling better! I have had the honor of working with individuals, couples and families in residential and outpatient settings and have witnessed people change and reach unique and individualized goals. I use a variety of techniques such as experiential, CBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt and psychoeducational modalities. I use EMDR to help clients recover from traumatic, disturbing and shame-based memories. I help clients find the motivation to change their unsatisfying patterns by empowering them to identify, express and prioritize needs and to stay focused on their goals.

I am a licensed professional counselor, and board certified art therapist. I use a person-centered approach to my practice, incorporating psychotherapy and art therapy, to personalize sessions to meet my client's specific needs and goals. I believe in a therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and non-judgement. Art therapy allows for exploration of creative process which helps to promote wellness, increase insight, foster resilience, and develop new coping skills. No previous art experience is required.

*Currently full* Due to COVID-19, these are uncertain times for everyone & many people are anxious and scared. I am a licensed clinical social worker/psychotherapist with 16 years of experience in all areas of mental health, treating clients aged 17-95. At my practice, Evolve Holistic Therapy, LLC, my goal is to help you heal & reach your highest potential. For your safety & comfort, I offer teletherapy online or in-person sessions. I will help you learn skills to manage stress & anxiety, and improve your life & relationships. We will journey together towards your best version of yourself and to calmness & serenity.

I specialize in the treatment of psychological trauma. Treatment is intense, and all participants must have sufficient social supports and self-care regimens in place. EMDR is the primary treatment modality and is supplemented by others. Although addictions are commonly affiliated with trauma, I do not treat addictions. I offer video or phone sessions and group workshops via video-conferencing. Note: Please do not seek treatment with me if you plan to pursue disability compensation. Those cases are best substantiated by MDs or PhD psychologists. I am neither.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings including outpatient and residential facilities. I come from a client-centered, strengths-based approach.

I am easy to talk to and skilled at creating tools to foster healthy connections between couples and families.

There are many reasons people seek counseling and it is my mission to help each individual on their personal journey. As a counselor I help each of my clients to identify their strengths and empower them to use these strengths to better their lives. I work with a sense of respect and compassion for each of my clients. I feel that every person who wants change in his or her life can achieve it. I am committed to helping each client find and achieve the change that is right for them.

Clients often described me as warm, present, and empathetic. My style of therapy incorporates a strengths-based approach, CBT, DBT, and Narrative techniques and is informed by psychoanalysis, feminist and attachment theories. I seek to help clients find meaning in their current life situations in order to address problems and create a better future. My skills include being able to provide compassion while empowering clients to understand and help themselves.
