My Approaches
This is a space and opportunity for you to explore, pause, reflect, be curious, and make your own interpretations of what might come up. Our time together is confidential, respectful, and collaborative.
This space and time is for you and about you. You are important.
We are much more than mind, body, or emotions - we are interconnected.
Your strengths are fundamental. Together we recognize them and work with them.
What you think matters. CBT helps you notice and reshape patterns of thought.
Creative, exploratory, and playful ways to express and process experience.
Being in the moment, in the here and now.
Your body is always telling you things - learning to listen is healing.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - used for trauma and more.
Understanding how trauma lives in the body and mind, and working with care.
We are not alone. Working in groups helps us understand ourselves better.
Bringing more awareness to the way you speak to yourself and others.

On Healing
Healing is to let go…
Healing is to release the past; the pain, the sadness…
Healing is forgiveness, forgiving yourself.
Healing is to learn about the circumstances, to learn about your mistakes.
Healing is to grow.
Healing is to see with compassion and care what you have not seen about yourself.
Healing is to want to go within and look beyond the veils of fear and despair, beyond the armor.
Healing is to connect with your inner voice that tells you who you really are.
Healing is to be able to see your own truth, to be your own light.
Healing is to allow - allow the flow of life to take you in its own nature.
