“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”
Oprah WinfreyIndividual Counseling
We make so many enriching, inspiring, and magical experiences inaccessible to ourselves because of fear….
but what would it look like to live beyond that fear? Beyond self-imposed barriers? What future could be created from that freedom?
You deserve that kind of future. You deserve that kind of love. You deserve that kind of joy and prosperity.
To be willing to be yourself, to be vulnerable, to ask for what you need, and to open up your heart to others — these are the most courageous and fortifying acts.
As your psychotherapist, I guide you on a personal journey to reclaim your freedom. I help you free yourself from the fear, pain, and self-sabotage that keeps you stuck in highly limiting patterns. I help you open up the capacity and energy to have a more profoundly beautiful and rewarding relationship with yourself and with others.

“Always go with the choice that scares you the most because that’s the one that is going to help you grow.”

Counseling Methods:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which negative thought patterns about the self and the world are challenged in order to treat mood disorders such as anxiety and depression as well as unwanted behavioral patterns. CBT helps reduce stress and anxiety for a better sense of peace and mental clarity.
Depth Psychology
Through the study of dreams, images, symptoms, slips of the tongue, spontaneous humor, complexes, archetypes, and meaningful coincidences as well as interpersonal engagements, Depth Psychologists attempt to understand the language and the dynamics of the unconscious. Depth psychological approaches help individuals become aware of what has been cast out of consciousness or not yet able to be known. Healing is associated with allowing what has been repressed, rejected, denied or ignored to come forward so that the person can understand, explore its significance and integrate it, allowing for a transformation in consciousness. Depth Psychology also attends to the way unconscious processes express themselves in society and culture, and how culture affects the psyche.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an effective treatment for trauma. EMDR is also effective in treating “everyday” memories that are the reason why people have low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, and etc.
EMDR enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. Using the detailed EMDR protocols and procedures, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.
Expressive Arts Therapy
The term expressive arts refers to any combination of dance, writing, visual arts, drama, music or other creative outlets. Expressive arts therapy is taking these modalities and using them to enhance individual development and growth.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy uses creative, experiential techniques to enhance awareness, freedom, and self-direction. It is a humanistic, holistic, person-centered approach that focuses on a person’s challenges in the present moment rather than delving into past experiences. This approach stresses the importance of understanding the context of a person’s life and taking responsibility rather than placing blame.
Mindfulness Practice
Mindfulness Meditation for Children, at its simplest, is paying attention to what is happening in the present moment. It may be what you’re feeling, hearing, or anything else you notice. There’s no special place of calm you have to reach and it’s not about clearing your mind, it’s just an honest and kind look at what you’re experiencing in this moment.
Spiritual Psychology
Spiritual Psychology is the art and practice of Conscious Awakening; removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence, awakening into the awareness of who you truly are, beyond the conditions of society and your ego. This practice helps you move from fear to love and align with your soul’s blessing- celebrating and owning what makes you unique and special.
There are three essential questions:
- “Who am I?”
- “Why am I here—what is my purpose?”
- “How can I make a more meaningful contribution; how can I know that my life has value and purpose, and that my being here is truly making a difference?”
