ABOUT THERAPY
Perhaps you have been feeling down for awhile or struggling with anxiety. Maybe you are stuck in old patterns that you are ready to change. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transformation. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.


ABOUT ME
Ever since I was young I wanted to help others and I truly love working with people. I have been a counselor in various ways my entire adult life and in private practice for the last 18 years. I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and see the therapeutic relationship as a sacred partnership. A session with me is very interactive and I shine a light on that which lies beneath the surface so that any sabotaging beliefs, old negative patterns and wounds stop running your life. Please feel free to call or email me to ask any questions you may have.

My Therapeutic Approach
I treat people from a holistic framework, which means I address how the presenting problem is operating on mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels. My holistic approach includes Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness based techniques, EFT and other effective tools that I draw upon depending on what will most benefit my client at the time. My clients find that after one session they are more empowered to influence the direction of their lives.
Benefits of Hypnotherapy:
Hypnotherapy is a powerful modality that allows us to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious mind. This is very important since the subconscious stores our past such as outdated negative programming, unresolved trauma and emotions that continue to sabotage our present choices and life experiences. Through the process of hypnotherapy some examples of how I can help you are:
Stress & Anxiety- Helping you get free of negative beliefs that create the "shoulds" and "have tos" that are unachievable. Develop coping skills so you will be resilient in the face of life's challenges. Learn self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques to manage every day stress.
Depression- Reduce feelings of helpless & hopelessness, eliminate self-sabotaging thinking, and develop new habits that increase your energy and enthusiasm.
Trauma & Abuse- Resolve past trauma/abuse (i.e., sexual abuse, rape, childhood traumas, accidents) and feel empowered today to influence your life.
Grief & Loss- Process and resolve anger, sadness, self-blame, and reconnect with your Spiritual life.
Addictions & Co-Dependency- Helping you change unwanted habits such as smoking, excessive drinking or negative relationship patterns and replacing these habits with life affirming choices.
Weight & Body Image - Transforming negative beliefs and sabotaging habits, creating a healthy and empowering body image, developing self-respect & acceptance so you can establish your ideal weight.
Pre & Post Op - Reducing pre-surgical fear and creating feelings of calm confidence. Helping minimize pain, improve appetite, reduce bleeding, and enhance your recovery process.
Benefits of CBT:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works in tandem with Hypnotherapy as we weed out old negative and harmful thought patterns we replace them with more truthful and logical ones. CBT empowers you to think differently, so in turn you feel better and are better able to handle tough situations that arise. You will learn skills to stop catastrophic and black and white thinking that prevent you from living a joyful life.
Benefits of EMDR:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) has been noted nationally as an effective form of treatment for trauma. Major traumatic events that lead to PTSD symptoms can significantly be helped as well as less severe experiences that may happen in childhood that are hurtful and impact one's self esteem. If these experiences are too disturbing or upsetting they can disrupt the information processing system of the brain causing the memory to be stored along with negative thoughts, emotions and even physical sensations. EMDR helps the brain process these stored memories so they no longer trigger you or color how you view and react to the present moment.
