*** During these trying times where we are coming together by staying apart, I am offering all sessions through HIPPA compliant video meetings. Because of this, I am not able to offer Neurofeedback as a treatment tool, however, I am able to implement EMDR during an online session as well as many other treatment modalities. ***
May we all find strength and grow from this.
APPROACH
I meet with individuals, couples and families who have experienced traumas or long periods of stress that not only affect their ability to function in their day to day lives, but also affect their ability to enjoy relationships with themselves and others.
My approach to healing is to treat the whole person; therefore, assessments around nutrition, lifestyle, sleep patterns, emotional and cognitive states, spirituality or belief systems, as well as relationships with others and self - both in past and present - are all evaluated while considering the best possible way to begin your healing.
** I offer Skype sessions to those who move, are traveling, or for long-distance clients**
EXPERIENCE
20 years experience providing therapy/ counseling to couples and individuals of all ages. My undergraduate and graduate degrees are in Psychology. My licensing is Marriage Family Therapy, or LMFT.
In addition, I am trained in Neurofeedback. This treatment offers retraining of the brain that will provide relief of multiple negative symptoms as well as provide more synchronization of brain activity allowing your mind to be more organized and clear. (Please contact for more information)
I am also fully certified in EMDR: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. This particular healing modality offers efficient and effective healing that genuinely comes from within. This truly empowers the individual and offers a reduction or elimination of the emotional charge from the past, allowing one to experience the present more fully
To provide my services, I set the space prior to sessions with rituals and oils for all of my clients so to provide a sacred, cleared and contained space for us to work in each and every visit.

There are many paths to take that lead to healing and the art of what I offer is to tune in to how I can guide you down the best path for you. I do this by listening and attending to what you say, both verbally and non verbally, cognitively and emotionally. With many years of education, training and experience I am able to guide you in a direction that will offer you more light, peace and love in your life.
