I am a licensed clinician trained in EMDR and I like to work with individuals who seek to explore and understand the deeper aspects of the self. My goal is to work with you to explore the subconscious, patterns of behavior, belief systems, and the underlying reasons for current behaviors and emotions, and work with you on changing problematic symptoms and behaviors. I also work extensively with individuals with histories of trauma.

Some of the most courageous people I know are those who are wanting to have a better life, better mental health, or better relationships and are willing to make the small incremental changes for the better.

I help individuals to treat developmental and attachment trauma, acute and post-traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, and depression.
Great struggle in our most meaningful relationships can quickly become the new normal when we experience adversity. No one is immune to this reality. Relationships are healthy when we as individuals are healthy, and I will work with you to achieve a healthy way of being. I enjoy helping both couples and individuals create stronger connections with those who mean most to them. I specialize in couples treatment by using emotionally focused couples therapy (EFCT) to help couples recognize their cycle, and strengthen their bond.

My ideal client is seeking positive change. They may face trauma, depression, addiction, or anxiety, but they’re not defined by these. They’re brave individuals seeking support who need a safe space to express themselves, empathy, understanding, and professional guidance. Their goals are unique. Some aim to manage symptoms better, or seek to understand their feelings’ root cause. Some want to improve relationships, others aim to build better coping mechanisms. They seek a fulfilling, balanced life, free from past chains, in control of their present and future. They seek happiness and new ways to tap into their resilience.

I have had the opportunity to witness individuals process trauma, gain lasting coping skills, and thrive not despite their suffering but because of it.
I have openings! I enjoy working with people who are stuck, experiencing overwhelming emotional distress and who have experienced a loss of sorts. Sometimes experiencing emotional distress may manifest as feeling worn out, hopeless, or may also be masked as physical discomfort (think racing heart, shallow breathing, tense muscles). Major life transitions also impact our ability to regulate emotions in a helpful and adaptive way. If you find yourself experiencing emotional ups and downs and physical manifestations of emotional disturbances, know that there is a path towards healing. I also focus on nervous system regulation.

I am trained in EMDR and utilize it in my treatment for trauma.
I have journeyed with adults experiencing a wide variety of issues, in practice for 20+ years. Although I spend time exploring the specific problem that brings you into counseling or therapy, I will also explore in depth the nature of your relationships with other significant people in your life. I will do this in such a way as to challenge ineffective ways of living and provide for personal change to occur. Change at this level requires more than new skills or understanding. I will help you work through and take responsibility for the specific situations you are facing.

I specialize in eating disorders and grief and trauma.
“Colibri” is Latin for Hummingbird. Hummingbirds are thought to be healers and bringers of love, good luck, and joy. They have a remarkable amount of tenacity and endurance for such a small bird and are a reminder for us to live in the moment and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Joy can be unpredictable and may be just around the corner. I believe that true happiness and peace comes from authenticity, self-acceptance and finding your true self and identity.

At Temanos, I utilize the current findings in neuroscience to understand and address trauma, grief, dealing with medical issues and life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
As a mindfulness based practitioner, I believe an environment of nonjudgmental awareness enables one to stay open to their experience in order to utilize it for transformation. In fact, Temanos means “a safe place for transformation”. I honor people's circumstances, thoughts, feelings and behaviors and value getting to the heart of the matter. Traumatic experiences shape us in known and unknown ways. I help clients find their innate strength, courage and wisdom to face life's challenges.

Many of us have felt the effects of some form of trauma, I create an open, positive environment where you can feel safe sharing your unique stories, strengths and challenges, without fear of judgment.
Starting any type of healing can be scary and intimidating at times. Coming to counseling means you have made a courageous choice to heal. The techniques and treatment approach I use is tailored around each individual’s needs to help build and access inner strength, resilience, and peace that already lies deep within. I do my best of looking at you through a holistic lens where we connect the mind, body, and spirit, to create an astrosphere where you can heal. I collaborate with you to take those first steps in rediscovering your best self. Just surviving is not living. I utilize EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
