My Approach to Therapy


Many people seeking therapy are simply sensitive souls in need of new or different ways of protecting themselves in a world which does not always honor the intuitive, sensitive, and creative self. I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and obsessional thinking that I believe often results from highly sensitive creative individuals lacking an outlet for expressing and/or understanding themselves.

"I incorporate mindfulness practices, guided meditation, and imagery exercises to help challenge early woundings and harness creative potential."

I am Reiki Master Certified and incorporate energy healing into many of my client sessions as I believe non-verbal trauma associated can become stored in the body. Reiki energy healing is one way we can release low lying energies remaining attached in our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual body.

“I strive to heal the restless and weary souls that are aware of their own internal struggles but lack the skills to manage their highly reflective and at times painfully aware self. As spiritual beings having oftentimes painful human experiences, I hope to help guide and heal you together here.”
