About me
Resonant wellness ~ Tune in to the vibration of your soul!
Are you in tune with your true self and living your best life? If you feel like your inner purpose or clarity is lacking then let me reassure you: you're not alone! There are patterns of dissonance in everyone, it's part of the human condition. These patterns are passed down through generations and affect each of us in our experience of wellness. It’s the childhood programming or traumas and painful experiences that create wounds carried throughout a lifetime. Being confused about your true nature or downright believing the lies you tell yourself can feel like a prison of your own making.
One thing I’ve learned from a decade in this field is that you cannot have inner freedom without first doing the psychological work. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone! Let’s join together on a journey of self-discovery. You’ll have my expertise at each step as we uncover any layers of illusion getting in your way.
My job is to provide a well-structured and knowledgeable approach, supported by compassionate inquiry. I strive to tailor my treatment methods based on an individual’s presenting needs, assessment data, and evidence based practices. My areas of expertise include anxiety, emotion regulation, life transitions, coping skills, highly sensitive and ASD. Commonly incorporated modalities include Holistic Spiritual and Integrative Medicine, Transpersonal Counseling, Depth-Oriented Psychotherapy, Cognitive and Behavioral therapies, Mindfulness Based-Stress Reduction, Dialectical Behavior therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic therapy, Art therapy, and Internal Family Systems model.
Empowering your true self is like strengthening a muscle – the more you do it, the easier it will be. Feel free to contact me if this resonates. It would be my absolute honor to hold space and see you in your wholeness!
