About My Clients

I love helping creatives and artists from diverse backgrounds embark on their healing journeys. You'll feel supported, guided, validated and confidant about learning how to grow and heal. My clients feel a warmth and connection with me. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to help you achieve your goals.

My Background and Approach

I have an holistic and eclectic approach. I am EMDR certified which influences most of my work but I also utilize Jungian Psychology, Mindfulness, DBT and IFS. I work with you, to help you heal from trauma and feel more fulfilled and at peace. I believe healing comes from within and together I will be your guide in getting to know yourself and what you need for a happy and healthy life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we are spirits inside human form and our nervous systems are self healing. The psyche means the soul or spirit and I use it in my work as a healer because that is the root of all psychological work and it's origins. I am spiritual and if my clients want to bring in a spiritual or religious framework we incorporate that in their healing journey. In IFS and Jungian psychology the soul is addressed and part of the counseling work to get a better and deeper holistic understanding of yourself. I am a published poet. I believe in human rights for all and love for all.
