I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Alcohol Drug Counselor, Basic Level 1-2 EDMR practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic and Trauma Reprocessing approaches as well as other modalities, we can begin the healing process. I specialize in guiding individuals’ transitioning and transforming from their hurtful human experiences, to finding effective ways of balancing their life and pursuing wellness within their internal/external connections. I wholeheartedly believe in a strength-based approach, non-judgmental, respectful, while also providing a guilt and shame free environment.
In today’s fast paced world, we may find ourselves moving with minimal time to process the stressors in our lives. Our inability to process these difficult situations may lead to emotional blockages and mental struggles. There are several levels of discomfort, some levels are more complex than others. Some are considered to be big “T” and some are little “t” but nonetheless the manner in which we decide to process and heal from these disturbances will ultimately determine how we experience life. The negative impact of these challenges may manifest differently in each individual, when these unwanted emotions/thoughts/physical sensations surface, we may deal with them through maladaptive behaviors such as addiction, anxiety, trauma response, anger, depression and communication issues. Through self-love, compassion, forgiveness and acceptance we can live healthier and more fulfilling lives. I believe that together, we can create a unique, safe atmosphere where we can work as a team to help you identify, process, create and heal from these past internalized wounds.
Let’s start transforming your life by illuminating a light on the rooted areas and embarking on this healing journey together.
