As a Clinically Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional, I treat anxiety using Cognitive Restructuring and Psychoeducation, proven methods grounded in science. Having navigated anxiety personally, I bring a deep understanding to my practice. This blend of professional expertise and lived experience creates a relatable, effective therapeutic environment, fostering a pathway to manage and overcome anxiety, tailored to individual needs.

I utilize evidence-based techniques alongside deep introspection in the treatment of anger issues. This method transforms outwardly directed anger into inwardly focused awareness and personal growth. By uncovering the underlying causes of anger, clients learn to identify triggers and comprehend their emotional responses. Through this process, we turn reactive anger into a catalyst for self-awareness and constructive change, fostering healthier relationships and emotional well-being.

I am no expert, but I am trained in and rigorously expanding my knowledge of, the Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) perspective. I believe that IPNB offers a powerful and concise way to understand our lived experiences through the triangle of wellness and provides us a pathway towards integration and coherence in our lives. Using a blend of mindfulness and neuroscience, IPNB is a roadmap towards a life well lived within a state of thriving.

I am no expert, however, as someone whose own healing journey was facilitated by many diverse practices and elements, and who is certified in varying degrees of Reiki, Craniosacral therapy, Aikido and Breath coaching, I deeply understand the need to approach therapy from a holistic perspective; seeing the client in the fullness of their lived experience and ensuring that all parts (physical, mental, social and spiritual) are honored.

I am no expert, but my approach is shaped by a growing understanding and deep respect for the principles of Gestalt learned through the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies and intense personal study. Gestalt aligns with my belief in the power of present awareness and the necessary integration of mind and body for healing. By co-creating a space between I and Thou, the client is able to explore their inner worlds in the 'here and now' we summon their own wisdom and knowing for meaningful change.
