You are safe to be yourself here; return to being YOU
Welcome! I am a dedicated and compassionate private practice therapist with a strong commitment to empowering individuals on their journey toward holistic wellness, healing from trauma and other life challenges, and gaining insights into self-discovery. As an Integrative Mental Health professional I am passionate about the mind-body-spirit connection. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) who understands the trauma-informed lens & the power of healing past wounds. Using various modalities including CBT, mindfulness, internal family systems, other Western modalities, psycho-spiritual methods, and integrative wellness approaches, creating a well-rounded approach tailored to each client's unique needs.
As a mindfulness practitioner, I believe in the power of living in the present moment and cultivating self-awareness. Drawing on training and experience, I gently guide clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with kindness and non-judgment. By incorporating holistic wellness modalities, I help individuals acknowledge the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and creating a foundation for overall well-being.
By embracing the wisdom of internal family systems, clients can explore and heal unresolved emotional wounds, resulting in greater self-compassion and inner harmony. I often integrate tools such as meditation, visualization, sensation awareness, and breathwork to promote balance and help release stored traumas.
Understanding the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance, I offer free 15-20 minute consultations to ensure a good fit between therapist and client. I believe that trust and rapport are essential for effective therapy and encourage individuals to take this opportunity to discuss their needs and goals. By creating a safe and nurturing environment, I invite clients to embark on a transformative journey toward healing and self-discovery.
