How I Can Help You
What if you could create a life of your dreams?
A life where you can manage the feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. A life where you can experience joy and manage panic. A life where you can quiet your shaking insides and your brain’s racing thoughts.
Through a holistic approach, I focus on your strengths to help you reach a place of hope, healing, and stability.
I spend time getting to know you at a deep level which guides the development of a premier therapy session experience built around YOU, your needs, your goals and your strengths. This customized plan created especially for you will form the foundation to empower you for the rest of your life.
Together we will identify patterns that are holding you back potentially keeping you from living the best life you were designed to live.

Utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help with trauma and anxiety as this technique helps you understand how negative experiences lead to your beliefs of “I’m not okay”, “I’m not safe”, I’m not enough”. This protocol helps target what is keeping you stuck (sometimes previously unknown to you) and then resolves wounds without you having to deep dive into the details. While the memory does not disappear, it totally loses its power over you.

“Wholehearted living is about engaging with our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, ‘No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough.’ It’s going to bed at night thinking, ‘Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.”
