I am a good fit for people who want to heal themselves from the ground up. I can help you on your journey to be someone who is confident but not arrogant, hard working but not entitled, independent but not selfish, powerful but not a bully, wise but not self promoting, loving but not wimpy, resilient but not inflexible. I am a true “salt of the earth” therapist, so humility is important to me. 

I have a unique and magical style as a therapist, which has been described as alchemistry. I hold the energy for you, so you can get to where you need to in life. I help your heart heal through this alchemical process of holding the energy for you, focusing on integrity, truth, compassion, forgiveness. Using ancient tools and wisdom from the divine feminine, we can weave back together the fragmentations inside of you.

I enjoy working with anyone 12 years old and up, who is committed to doing their healing work, is respectful to me and my profession, doesn’t traumatize me in the process, and happily invests their energy into treatment.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy, also known as individual counseling, can be helpful for people who suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes, or general emotional struggles. Also called talk therapy, individual therapy can have a beneficial effect on your mental health and well-being.

Individual therapy provides a safe and supportive space for you to open up about your experiences and feelings. With each session, making healthy changes, feeling better, and opening up gets simpler.

While you and your therapist will determine the specific goals and objectives of your personalized therapy, there are some general issues that it can help with:

  • Coping with everyday life

  • Inability to sleep

  • High anxiety

  • Regular depression

  • Eliminating or controlling troubling symptoms and emotions, such as anger

  • Life transitions, such as divorce, career changes, or death

  • Recovering from emotional, physical, sexual abuse, or trauma

Everyone Struggles at One Point or Another…

In our fast-paced, tech-heavy, and success-driven world, it can feel like everyone has the answers but you.

The reality is that anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, and other mental health issues are quite common. Also, the pressure to excel can contribute to low self-worth, stress, and the desire to  escape.

It’s common to feel unfulfilled or lose confidence, and a series of disappointments and setbacks can make it challenging to have hope for the future. Most individuals who feel worn-down or purposeless think that they don’t need depression or anxiety counseling.

We can help you identify what you want in life, feel confident, and empowered to create a better life. We can help you work through depression and anxiety, so you can be free.  By working with our team,  you can recover from old wounds, tap into your inner strength, and develop a new sense of determination, purpose, and resilience.

EMDR Therapy - Trauma Specialty

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an evidence-based mode of therapy that is very successful in helping people who suffer from trauma. It also helps treat anxiety, panic, depression, and many other emotional issues. Compared to traditional talk therapy, EMDR brings relatively quick relief for most people.

The EMDR technique uses a natural function of the body, rapid eye movement (REM), as its basis. Using the REM eye movement pattern, troubling memories are accessed and reprocessed by the brain. This helps you heal traumatic memories so that you can experience a more peaceful state. EMDR does not cause people to forget disturbing memories or events. Instead, it enables you to experience them with less distress.

EMDR effectively treats trauma from extreme experiences – such as a debilitating car accident or sexual abuse. In addition, it helps with everyday problems that could range from public speaking to a fear of spiders. You can also receive EMDR treatment to address memories that create low self-esteem, poor body image, feelings of powerlessness, and more.

Couples counseling

When relationships are rocky due to communication issues, mismatched  sexual desires, infidelity, possible divorce or breakups, illness  (health or mental health) or other such issues, our couples therapists  work with you to improve your relationship or to find the most amicable  way to uncouple.

Marriage counseling and couples therapy work in very similar ways.  Whether you’re traditionally married or in a committed, partnered  relationship, we can help you. Our goal is to help you resolve conflicts  and create a healthy relationship that meets your emotional,  mental, physical, and sexual needs.

Teens

You’re concerned about your teen’s behavior.

Lately, your son or daughter seems more irritable, depressed, or anxious

Your teen is having trouble in school. They don’t seem to be getting along with their peers and that’s left you feeling very concerned. 


Adolescence is hard even in the best of situations. Teenagers face a combination of societal pressure, peer pressure, and academic pressure. Then, you add all of the changes they’re facing right now and everything going on in the world around them. At times, the stress can be debilitating. Your child is old enough to have their own thoughts, opinions, and identity. However, they still need guidance and support from you as their parent or caretaker. They may want independence, but they’re not quite ready for it yet. And, on top of it all, they are trying to create their own identity and figure out their place in the world. So, It’s no wonder so many teens experience mental health struggles.

Common issues that bring teens to counseling:

“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”
