About My Clients

My ideal clients are those who value a holistic approach to healing from trauma/anxiety, depression/grief and relationship issues. You may have tried other therapists or modalities and yet are still battling the same issues, and that's because the whole picture is not being seen. I like to get to the source, not chase the symptoms, and that takes the ability to explore from many angles with a client who wants to dive deep for real transformation.

My Background and Approach

I launched my private practice 8 years ago and along with a counseling degree in Trauma studies, I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and am trained in Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), and Nutrition Response Testing. All of these allow me to embrace a big picture view of each client, with an individualized path to wellness, and uses a gentle form of biofeedback (muscle testing) to guide us to understand you and what you need. Stress and trauma imprints on our bodies, creating untrue thoughts, beliefs, and unhelpful reactions that need clearing and resolving to free us of self-sabotage and develop an empowering confidence. This is why taking a holistic approach is essential for long-lasting results. My approach combines traditional talk therapy with many other techniques, modalities, and philosophies to find what will work best for each individual client. We are all different, and our paths to wellness are too.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

When you have someone who truly listens AND fully understands your experience, mountains can be moved. I've seen it time and time again. I believe we all innately have what we need, just need help accessing those parts of us and the things that help us that we can incorporate in our daily lives. And I don't think it should take that long to experience relief! My goal is to get my clients through crisis immediately, engage deeply in the healing phase, and get to the maintenance phase where we meet only when you want a tune-up, or just because you enjoy regular check-ins! My goal is not simply to get you back to surviving. To me, that's not enough. I want to help you feel like you are thriving and really living the life you want. To upgrade your spirit, connections, and enjoyment of life despite the challenges that arise. I've personally experienced going from the pits to the peak, so I know all my clients can get there too.
