Counseling
“Its when we start working together that the real healing takes place."
David Hume
I take a client-centered humanistic approach to individual sessions.
What does that mean?
Through our confidential and trusted relationship, we create a sacred container where personal growth and change can be nurtured. Because we are social creatures, it seems when we are fully seen, heard, and accepted completely, we can begin to do that for ourselves. I work with adults and teens.
Trauma Therapy
I am a trauma-informed therapist who has a certificate in EMDR through the Maiberger Institute. Trauma therapy is not about "forgetting" a trauma, we can never erase something bad that happened; however, we can "reprocess it" so it no longer interferes with your everyday functioning. I provide a safe, structured environment for us to slowly integrate what happened so our brain/body/emotions, and spirit can come back home.
Coaching
As a health and wellness coach through the National Board of Certified Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWC), I utilize motivational interviewing and here-now- experiences to bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to go. We create objectives and explore where your blocks are and I will ask motivational questions and perhaps give homework assignments or SMART goals to help you get unstuck.
COUNSELING & TRAUMA THERAPY
You grew up in a family or culture where your thoughts, emotions, or body were rejected. To be accepted in this world and find a place of "belonging; you ended up abandoning yourself in the process.
Many of my clients come to me because they are exhausted from living an inauthentic life. My clients feel disconnected from themselves and desire to reconnect with kindness, love, and compassion. Perhaps you are neurodivergent, HSP, LGBTQ++, or never felt like you belonged to the family (or country!) you grew up in.

“You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.”
Bob Nelson
COACHING
You learned you had to be a certain way in the world to be loved and accepted by others around you. So you tried to be perfect and live your life by their “rules” and standards while ignoring your own inner knowing. You’ve rejected your thoughts, emotions, and body in an effort to be selfless, pure, or holy and you lost yourself in the process.
