About me

Hello and what a pleasure to meet you. I first trained in Respiratory Therapy and now specialize in Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Trauma, Chronic Pain, Chronic Illness issues, Medical Trauma, Stress, and Substance Abuse/Addiction. I will treat you as the "whole" person you are through valid therapy techniques as well as offering nutrition, supplements, and other holistic therapeutic counseling options. I follow a philosophy that you are the expert in your life and I am but a guide. I treat each client according to his/her preferences but often focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Humanistic, and Person Centered approaches. I have also trained in Internal Family Systems, Compassion Fatigue, Trauma using EMDR, Integrative Mental Health, and much more. I am your guide, your partner, in your journey to gain clarity facing the struggles of stress, illness, emotional/behavioral issues, addiction, relationships, trauma, life change, or everyday life. When you are ready to begin the journey towards balance you will be greeted by a non-judgmental and holistic/integrated approach to help you move forward in your journey. Explore what integrating your body and mind can offer for happiness, goals, and healing. While your struggle is REAL, your life does not have to be a REAL STRUGGLE!
