Trying to juggle the stressors of work, family, that dreaded daily "to do" list and fit in a social or personal life can be overwhelming.

Sometimes life has us feeling guarded, stressed, ready for battle or just feeling defeated. It can be so exhausting to continuously feel rejected, abused, inadequate, ashamed, guilty or even insignificant by loved ones. Maybe you had to do, what you had to do, to get through and you are tired of being tired. I have worked with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, trauma ( multigenerational trauma) & those that have been abused. I have a Mindfulness based approach that taps into your strengths to look for solutions to find what works for you. Here you will find a non-judgmental environment that allows you to just be yourself.

I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy which involves integrating various elements of different theories and practice. I lean most heavily on approaches focused on how people’s thinking can change feelings and behaviors while also implementing an approach focused on helping clients achieve their highest potential. Instead of energy spent on the past or negative behaviors, I emphasize the goodness in clients and work toward growth and self-actualization. I also use approaches oriented toward problem-solving including Hypnotherapy, NLP Brain Training, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Coaching, and EMDR therapy.
