Have you ever been out in the cold for a while, and despite the amount of blankets you enwrap yourself, you are still cold?  I believe some therapies only address the outside layers, rather than addressing the CORE of our being. You  can "clip off a dead branch" (e.g. desensitize a symptom). But did you really address the core issue that caused it? 

 You hear how people don't attract the right people, well the theory of Repetition Compulsion tells us we attract people based upon what things were like in our upbringing, thus our choices are largely subconscious.   So important for a professional to work with us thru the depths of our roots.   Ultimately, helping us to become a "better" version of ourselves, as we become able to better understand ourselves, our needs, our  worth, and exposing the defense mechanisms  that have held us back. Otherwise we repeat the same patterns over and over.. 

I provide an eclectic approach, with a foundation based in "re-parenting" clients. Essentially, providing the client's TRUE SELF, the nurturance, protection, support, acceptance, and validation.   Our False self, is very symptomatic and is a result of the things we have gone through and/or experienced in life. I assist clients in helping their True Selves grow into what YOU are suppose to be and desire, while assisting clients in getting rid of those yucky symptoms of their "False Self."

I enjoy working with clients suffering from low self esteem/self worth, anxiety, depression, grief, mental abuse/narcisstic abuse, shame, and female clients struggling with codependency. 

Availability: I am currently accepting new clients at this time.

 My passion is promoting healing for adolescent and adult clients by going beneath the surface to gain a deeper understanding and resolution of the concerns that lead them to therapy. I believe in the importance of exploring the brain-body connection with those I work with to improve brain and body health, and ultimately mental health.

I have specialized training and experience in working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events. I use a trauma-focused approach and implement a variety of evidenced-based therapy modalities. When appropriate, I utilize EMDR with clients, a therapy modality that is effective for those who have experienced traumatic or distressing life events, anxiety, depressed mood, and a variety of other concerns. I believe that healing can only occur in an environment that is honest, respectful, supportive, and safe. I strive to create this in every interaction with those who choose to work with me.
