Anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, constant anticipation, or a feeling that it's hard to fully relax or feel grounded. Rather than simply managing symptoms, therapy with me focuses on understanding what the anxiety is trying to communicate & helping the spirit & the nervous system settle. Drawing from clinical approaches & a holistic perspective, I help clients build steadiness, increase self-trust, and develop practical ways to move through uncertainty with greater calm and confidence.

Trauma sits in the body and in the spirit. It can affect a person daily in ways that are visible and invisible. Working through these traumas helps a person fully find themselves and their true essence again.

Depression can feel like disconnection- from meaning, from others, and from yourself. It is more than sadness, often affecting energy, identify, and a sense of purpose. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a spiritually open perspective honoring the whole person- mind, body and inner life. Together we work to understand patterns, restore hope and reconnect you with your inner resilience, supporting a renewed sense of meaning, balance and possiblity.

My core belief as a Counselor is what is now coined Humanistic Therapy. It's about looking at a person not in terms of what is their disorder, but that they are someone who is already whole and has everything they need within already. It focuses on the importance of realizing and being your true self, your true essence. That is why I named my business Your True Essence.

Energy psychology is a mindful, body-centered approach that helps people be in touch with how their emotions, thoughts and energy interact. Using awareness, attunement and subtle energy work, it helps people learn to identify and release stuck emotions, energy and tension. This can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, build self-trust, restore balance, and move through life with greater ease.
