Everyone deserves to feel joy and ease by themselves and in their relationships and how they relate to the world or even a stranger.
A Holistic Approach - we pay attention to what you need - mind, body, AND spirit. We look at what is affecting you - maybe it's your relationships, what you put in your body, finances, community, or lack thereof...
I have been a licensed therapist for 7 years and have been a counselor and a parent of two since the 2000s. I am also an artist, activist, and dancer.
You will learn to use your strengths and connections more and build on these while challenging old negative beliefs. I have experience in helping clients through their relationship with their body, sensuality, and self. Learn to connect more meaningfully with family members and friends. Work through intimacy or connection issues.
Evidenced-Based Practices - I am fully trained and experienced in EMDR for deep relaxation and decreasing negative self-talk and feelings. The EMDR flash technique can be used for single trauma episodes (a car accident or assault).
Purpose and Presence - I also use existential and experiential therapy interventions (rehearsing difficult conversations or getting in touch with the thoughts and feelings in the present moment).
Express Yourself! I incorporate, as wanted, expressive arts (journaling, creative writing, art, and dance).
Walk and Talks! Healthy movement during talk therapy - stretching and outdoor walk and talks.
Usually, we work for a few months weekly together then go down to every other week as we meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to support and empower you in your work toward a preferred life experience. Again, you deserve to feel joy and ease. Schedule your first appointment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
