Everyone one has their own life experiences that have been undergone in their own way. I recognize uniqueness in everyone's life and that they have a deep need witnessed and honored in those experiences. My practice is about creating space for every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without judgement or interpretation. We collaborate to find the deepest meanings within those experiences and we use that to find direction as how we would like to close a chapter or grow next. Healing from experiences is through finding meaning in them and integrating them into ourselves thereby enabling us to live deeper and more enriching lives.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) An evidence-based treatment for PTSD that teaches clients to reframe unhelpful thoughts about trauma. It helps reduce guilt, shame, and fear.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Hypnotherapy Uses guided relaxation and focus to access the subconscious mind. It is often used for habits, anxiety, and pain management.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
- Sandplay Therapy Uses sand trays and miniature figures to allow symbolic expression. It is especially helpful for children and trauma survivors.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: I am passionate about my practice and my work with others. I not only study how to live our best lives as human beings but also practice it myself. I understand the importance between the connection of the mind, body, and soul. Holistic health includes eating well, movement, time in the sun, and a lifestyle that promotes wellbeing. I am a dually certified yoga teacher, and I am certified in other holistic arts.
