"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anaïs Nin
I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, families, and groups. My specialties are: working with people who have experienced trauma, struggle with addictions, and have a strong desire toward self care. I use a variety of methods to help move each individual toward their desired goal.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma.
I offer mediation services to businesses that have a desire to utilize conflict resolution in their workplace. I come to your place of business and design a very specific plan that fits exactly what you need.
I am a Reiki Master practitioner. I do individual, reiki only, sessions or can work reiki healing into a session that might assist someone in decreasing their anxiety and increase their sense of grounding.
I teach mindfulness skills and use yoga as a basis for movement therapy to assist individuals in getting in touch with their bodies.
I teach different methods of mindful practices so that people can incorporate them into their everyday activities. Bringing mindfulness into your every day leads to a decrease in stress, and increase in productivity, and improved relationships.
I believe that we all have the potential for growth and have the right to live our lives to the fullest. Many of us only live at a fraction of our potential and sometimes never even get past surviving day to day. We all deserve to thrive in life, to wake up each day eager to experience what is in front of us. If you are living with anything less than that, then you owe it to yourself to utilize the resources available to you and begin your own journey of self-exploration and personal growth. My personal philosophy is that all of my clients are individuals who have the capacity to live the life that they want, they just need to better understand the dynamics, both internal and external, that surround them and how they effect their day to day. Coming to know who you truly are as an individual will allow you to have better boundaries and therefore experience greater intimacy. Only when we know ourselves well enough can we then share ourselves fully with another. Taking care of yourself is the greatest gift that you not only give to yourself but to all the people in your life. A healthy, happy you will radiate health and happiness to everyone around you. Once we become healthy individuals, the systems we live in will also begin to grow in a more healthy way as well.
Everyone is Unique
Everyone comes with their own set of circumstances. Their own personality, likes, dislikes, preferences for life. I do what I can to meet each person where they are at when we work together. If we are utilizing EMDR, or hypnosis, or Reiki in a session, it is usually interwoven into a typical session, allowing for a unique experience for each individual.
Variety of Methods
In order to get to the heart of all the various issues that people face, I believe a therapist should be well versed at many different methods to allow for flexibility.
Sometimes it's important to move off the couch and into a different space. I work with people to learn how to weave mindfulness into their day and movement to help release stuck emotion and energy. I use hypnosis and or Reiki for relaxation and the reduction of anxiety. Learning to mediate is also a skill that the client can take with them to do at home. I encourage people to feel at ease as we talk.
Relax and Breath
While therapy can often be about processing the issues, it also must be about learning how to be present in the here and now. Finding comfort in being in ones own skin.
