I work with professional women who struggle with chronic burnout, poor work-life balance, and lack of healthy boundaries. My expertise is in helping women to see the value in themselves and the necessity for adopting practical and simple self-care tools in their daily lives, by providing assertiveness training, and developing healthy communication skills, and learning healthy ways to insert and assert boundaries - first with themselves and then with others, both in and out of the workplace.

I specialize in working with women in a therapeutic group settings to ACCESS healing in community by: Acknowledging, Confessing, and Confronting the area(s) of their lives that perpetuates feelings of brokenness, isolation, and suffering in silence with the various internal and external conflicts they live with day to day. I, then, help women to Entrust themselves with regulating their emotions and nervous systems in order to cultivate Sustainable and Successful relationships with self & others.

I am a trained therapist and Grief Share facilitator and I help women to identify their respective grief styles and how they grieve uniquely, cultivate a sense of community and belonging so they don't feel alone in their grief, and to develop new perspectives and tools to grieve in healthier ways.

I am trained as a trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapist working with a diverse group of clients across the lifespan and from various ethnic backgrounds, as well as working in diverse settings such as outpatient, hospitals, schools, group practices, residential, early childhood, and working with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

This method involves gentle Action, Breathing/breathwork techniques, and Centering/Grounded practices to regulate the nervous system. It is also an evidenced-based practice that is proven to help with mood related issues, trauma, chronic stress, ADHD, addiction, etc.
