My Background and Approach

My area of expertise is in the area of Addiction/Recovery, Food Addiction, Codependency, Wellness, and Trauma. I have been working in the recovery field for over 20 years. In addition, I am a somatic yoga teacher and am trauma-informed. I have created MSW curriculum in the area of Addiction, Mental Health, International Adoption, and Wellness. I have used experiential therapies for healing. I meet people where they are and offer a therapeutic approach that allows for authenticity and connection. My approach to therapy is to create space for any individual in a safe environment. My approach is to be real and allow each individual to be heard in a nonjudgmental setting. At times, I like to use a body-mind connection and will offer somatic yoga, meditation, and guided imagery in order to assist with healing. My approach is to individualize each treatment. I want any individual to feel encouraged and supported in each session.
