Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed. As a licensed professional counselor and certified school psychologist, my intention is to create safety, appreciation, connection and support. My style is a balance of compassion with heartfelt directness. My therapeutic approach is based in Gestalt body-centered psychotherapy that embraces mind-body-spirit integration. I help my clients bring awareness to the bonding and attachment they experienced as children within their own family systems which has defined their narratives, formed limiting beliefs, and divided their true Self into parts. Each of us carry our wounded parts into our present day life which results in dysfunctional relationships and destructive patterns of behavior until we have the realization that our old familiar and even abusive patterns no longer serve us. It is my mission to help my clients meet their parts with compassion, acceptance and unconditional love and in time integrate their parts in feeling whole again. I have additional training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Compassionate Communication, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotional Freedom Technique, positive psychology, shadow work, somatic bodywork and attachment theory. I am completing an international certification to be a Trauma Informed Coach specializing in recovery from narcissistic abuse. With grace and ease, I integrate multiple therapeutic modalities into our sessions to create a meaningful and powerful humanistic experience. At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your authentic self or further away from it. I feel honored to be a part of your transformational healing process and invite you to lean into the fulness of your true Self where freedom, abundance and expansion exists.
