INDIVIDUAL

The most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. I partner with clients from all different backgrounds to find solutions to their concerns in a way that honors their needs and beliefs.

RELIGIOUS TRAUMA/ DECONSTRUCTION

This is a safe space for any and all religious or spiritual beliefs. If you are in the process of deconstructing a religion or faith that was harmful to you, I am here to help you navigate that as you re-construct a framework that supports your life.

WOMEN’S ISSUES

Women who support other women…we belong to a special and unique tribe that needs to be treated as such. It is a privilege and an honor to be a woman. However, it carries the weight of many heavy responsibilities that have been placed on us and that we willingly add to our lives. Drop your shield, lay down your burdens, and let’s get to the heart of your feminine concerns.

NARCISSISTIC ABUSE RECOVERY

Having someone in your life with Narcissistic Personality Disorder or qualities on the narcissism spectrum can provide its unique challenges. I work with clients to help build a foundation of coping skills, self-esteem work, and trauma healing, while addressing patterns in dysfunctional relationships with the narcissist and yourself. You have worth, rights, and the ability to heal from any situation.

ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY

A therapeutic intervention that incorporates animals into the treatment plan. It is used to enhance and complement the benefits of traditional therapy. It can help improve emotional wellbeing, socialization and communication skills, and some studies have found that contact with an animal can produce hormonal changes (decrease in cortisol and increase in oxytocin).

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE

EFT tapping is a form of energy psychology that focuses on the meridian points to restore balance to your body's energy. This form of non-invasive therapy assists in reducing physical/emotional pain, stress, anxiety, depression, and ptsd symptoms. It's believed that restoring this energy balance can relieve emotional symptoms related to a negative experience. This service can be incorporated into sessions or be provided as a stand alone service.

ADOLESCENTS

The teen years are a pivotal time in one’s development of self that can be tricky to navigate in the current times. Clients often find it helpful to have an outside party to assist navigating the daily issues teens face while fostering healthy family communication. Ages 13 and up.

FAMILY

A word that can trigger a range of emotional responses. I have found in my work with families, the most common theme is each member wanting to be seen, heard, and accepted. This can feel challenging at times, but is possible with the assistance of therapy to learn communication skills and exercises that foster both individual growth and family connection.
