Are you a creative, motivated, intelligent woman struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, or past/childhood trauma who wants long-term transformation? You might feel like your relationships are falling apart or aren't what you truly want. You want greater ease in getting your needs and boundaries met. Maybe you have trouble saying no to people. Perhaps you want to move through the world with more self-esteem & confidence in all things (self, making choices, work, etc). Or maybe you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin with solving your problems. Your thoughts race or you feel anxious for "no reason" sometimes.
If that's relatable and you want a therapist with a holistic depth approach, who is warm yet real, and who can offer new tools and perspectives to grow with, I may be the therapist for you. I utilize depth psychology, somatic, and mindfulness tools to address issues from multiple perspectives, providing a more complete and transformational healing process.
I believe that every individual life is a precious jewel and that we each contain the potential for healing and wholeness. In the eyes of the Buddha, we are all Buddhas on the journey together. If you feel drawn to my perspective, I would be happy to schedule a consultation to see how I can be of service.

Groups
Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
This is a closed ongoing group of 5-7 members. We focus on healing from the impact childhood sexual abuse has the self, on one's relationship with others, money, and more. Such an experience in childhood often results in Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which can be far-reaching. This group helps members to connect, unburden shame, and move towards connection and wholeness. We use parts work and psycho-education to help members understand their healing journey.
