Hello! I’m a therapist, mom of 7 children, Nanna to 5 and many fur babies. I enjoy time with family, yoga, all things outdoors, especially the mountains- hiking, camping & appreciating nature. The journey to healing from my own health issues, relationship & mental health challenges inspired me to help others which I am passionate about. I predominantly work using a person-centered counselling approach, integrating various other methods specific to the needs of the client I am working with. I believe we all have the tools we need within to live our best life, we just need guidance to tap into. I have experience counseling youth, families, parents, couples and women. I feel the clients I am most passionate to help are women ages 18-65 who struggle with body image, worthiness, eating disorders, addictions, anxiety, depression & autoimmune issues. I utilize several modalities including CBT, Gestalt, Jungian, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Somatic and Trauma based. I offer tools and guidance for clients to find their light within, the spark that may have been covered with traumas and societal programming and to change our neuropathways to promote healing. Utilizing mindful techniques, breathing techniques and positive psychology will guide you to overcome obstacles and live a fully present, empowered and joyful life. When visiting in person clients are delighted with the quaint and cozy space where they can connect with nature before or after their session. Consider adding a Lucia Light session, sound bed or both, or an entire day of healing with Reiki, Breathwork, meditation, yoga, palmistry and more.
