It is very  likely that the most important thing you want to know is...can she REALLY help me? It's unlikely that listing my degree and training experience first is going to tell you very much about who I am as a therapist and whether that translates into the relief you need so badly right now. I imagine that it would be equally helpful to know why I do this work and why I am passionate about anxiety and trauma relief therapy. 

To start, I love working with clients with these challenges because I've been there. I have walked my own personal healing journey that includes using many of the tools I use with my clients now. Of course, there is not a one size fits all therapy because every person is unique. Therefore, my approach is to align with your therapeutic needs so we can create a treatment plan that best fits your sacred journey to wellness. And for the record am no different from you, I broke through the deep challenges of trauma and anxiety and YOU CAN TOO. Do you know how I know this? Because I haven't met a person yet who doesn't have this innate sense of resiliency, even if it feels covered up or hidden right now. Even if you don't have a lot of hope that you can transform your life from the inside out- I will hold the hope for you until you are able to carry it on your own. 

The clients who tend to get the most out of therapy with me are the ones who are committed to weekly sessions and followthrough on the "homework" between sessions. When it is a joint effort between the two of us, profound changes can take place. 

I don't do just typical talk therapy. We don't have sessions where we continally talk about the problem until we are both blue in the face. Studies have actually shown that we can re-suppress our emotions if we continually talk about an issue.  Instead, we focus on the core solutions right from the beginning. Self expression can happen on many levels. I have found that talking about the problem is one level, exploring the body's sensations and emotions are another, and if we really want to get to the core of things- the alignment with your Soul, Higher Self, Self, Inner Guide, Spirit, whatever you would like to call it (it's up to you!) is imparative. Deep meangingful change and higher awareness comes from this connection and (in my opinion) it is the most profound way to not only relieve your symptoms, but to step into the joy filled life that you truly deserve. One of the most important qualities as a therapist that I want to share with you is my deeply committed path to authenticity, compassion, and spiritual growth. If you are ready to share your sacred journey with me, it would be an honor to walk side by side with you. 

The therapy relationship is meant to feel supportive in addition to feeling confident that the therapist has the tools and expertise to help you with your treatment goals. When it's a right fit, it allows you to explore the depths of your inner world.
