LIFE IS A BALANCE BETWEEN ACCEPTANCE & CHANGE

WELCOME

Are you someone who has come to the other side of survival mode but has not figured out how to thrive?

Are old patterns of behavior still impacting your overall ability to have a healthy relationship with yourself and with others?

Are you struggling to increase wanted behaviors and decrease unwanted behaviors?

Are you unable to be unmindful of worry?

I can help with that.

I help those who are doing “everything right” but aren’t living the life they want. The ones who have survived much but are not sure how to move and heal forward.

I help people recognize the joy of fully living in the moment; not pushing away or holding on; finding the edges of life and softening around them. Learning how to settle an anxious or traumatized body to be fully present in life.

I help you welcome all your emotions and help you choose your reactions.

Your past brought you here, but it no longer needs to impact your present. It's time to give yourself permission to move from survival mode to thrival mode. Are you ready?

THERE IS SOMETHING MAGICAL THAT HAPPENS IN THERAPY

The ability to be fully present and vulnerable with another human being while transmuting pain into comfort, joy, healing, and power has always amazed me.

I offer empirically based individual psychotherapy, for adults 18+, that is uniquely tailored to enhance your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I guide you to realize / self-actualize your fullest potential and successes. I approach the work with my clients from a systematic perspective; our lives and experiences are influenced by the systems in which we live such as our relationships and cultural backgrounds.

My treatment is holistic. I see the wholeness of your being and guide you to see your inherent worth…to sit in the enormity of your authenticity without rejection. Realization is the easy part, actualization of the realization is the difficult part.

I am your guide through the pains of life while helping you see and experience the range of all your emotions safely and effectively. I provide assistance through trials, tribulations, trauma, and successes but ultimately I am teaching you to heal you.

Trust that I will help you give yourself grace; holding your self accountable with compassion as you travel the healing journey.

TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE…

Trauma lives and stores in the body as somatic issues, which can develop into chronic conditions such as chronic pain, high blood pressure, fatigue, decreased immune response, sleeping disturbances, and sexual dysfunction. Stored trauma exacerbates the mental health systems as well with increased reactivity, restlessness, cognitive impairment including memory issues, irritability, and overall dissatisfaction with life. In short, it makes life so much harder.

Trauma disconnects the mind from the body, removing our ability to appropriately respond to stimuli in our lives....further enhancing the impact of trauma on the body.

With a trauma informed yoga practice, you are guided to connect with your body and learn how safely feel and release trapped emotions, memories, and traumas.

I guide you through a grounded private yoga sequence to learn how to reconnect with your body, listening for cues of distress and pain, and reteaching the body to effectively feel emotions while releasing stored trauma.

By holding the body in awareness, we reclaim our body and spirit.

WE NEVER OUTGROW NEEDING HELP

Throughout my 13 years of practice, I have found that I have an immense passion for helping other therapists grow. I personally have experienced terrible, mediocre, and phenomenal supervision/consultation throughout the years and have learned from each experience.

I want to pass that knowledge to you.

My professional experiences include health psychology, case management, psychological assessment, risk assessment, group management, research development, project management, case conceptualization/formulation, treatment plans, agency work, and professional development.

The more esoteric experiences of mine include answering questions such as “how do I handle hearing all this trauma and not take it home?” or “this client is bringing up this in me, what do I do with that?” I can help you tap into your therapist intuition and find that voice.

I want to provide a safe container to help you become the therapist you dreamed to be.
