Holistic healing to reclaim your life using a trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic, emotional, and creative therapies.
I help adult survivors of childhood relational trauma heal attachment wounds and reclaim their power through a holistic, trauma-informed approach. Using empathy, guidance, and evidence-based methods like IFS, somatic work, mindfulness, and creative therapies, I support clients in releasing stuck emotions, transforming inner blocks, and aligning with their purpose. I specialize in working with gifted individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and addiction—offering a safe, empowering space for deep healing and lasting growth.
My clients gain clarity, face and overcome inner blocks, and transform those blocks into strength and freedom—especially in their relationships with themselves and others.
My approach is integrated, holistic, and modern, designed to actively empower your healing journey. Together, we’ll uncover your personal power, resolve unfinished emotional business from the past, and align your beliefs and behaviors with your vision for a joyful, energized life.

My Approach: How I Help
I use trauma-informed interventions that help clients recognize and shift stuck thought, emotional, and behavioral patterns by accessing and releasing held emotions, fostering mind-body-spirit connection through somatic awareness, developing self-leadership via Internal Family Systems (IFS), and transforming the inner critic into an inner advocate.
My work blends mindfulness, somatic practices, movement, emotion-focused experiential methods, integrative energy work, and cognitive-behavioral tools to restore balance, clarity, and spiritual connection. I support clients in discovering purpose and reaching their fullest potential in life goals.
I draw from diverse therapeutic models, including Emotions-Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), Narrative Therapy, Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Systems Thinking, and creative approaches such as art, movement, journaling, sandtray, and play therapy for adults, while also incorporating more traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology approaches.

Healing is Growing Towards Your Most Developed Self
I view healing as a developmental growth process.
Rather than focusing on a problem or considering my clients to be flawed in some ways, I view people as full of potential with the right to exercise their ultimate freedom – that of personal choice, ownership of their autonomy and individual interpretation of their authentic self.
I use trauma-based interventions that help clients understand & adjust their thought life, behavior & feelings patterns by getting in touch with & releasing stuck emotions, connecting & aligning their bodies, minds, emotions & spirits using somatic awareness, helping clients gain self-leadership through balancing out psychological "parts" using IFS, & replacing their inner critic with an inner advocate.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
I believe that the work needs a holistic approach, so I use a variety of tools like mindfulness, somatic work, movement, emotions-focused experiential approaches, integrative energy work, along with cognitive behavioral methods to help my clients gain a healthy balance of control over their mind and actions in tandem with their spiritual development and healing.
I help clients clarify and understand their purpose in their lives and become empowered to reach greater levels of potential in their personal goals.
I believe that healing happens best in a safe place with a safe guide that allows clients to renew their bodies, minds, and spirits.
I work as this safe guide, journeying with clients who have suffered anxiety and depression, grief, childhood trauma, painful relationships, and addictions of all sorts, including substances and processes.
Many of my clients are gifted in certain capacities, including intellectually, spiritually, creatively, and I provide a space of specialized understanding and safety which helps them to heal and grow.
In addition to providing psychodynamic and mindfulness-based therapies, I utilize skills and techniques drawing from some specific therapeutic models, including:
Emotions-Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT)
Narrative Therapy, Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills (DBT)
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP – empty chair therapy, inner child connection)
