" Re-examine all you have been told...Dismiss what insults your Soul." - Walt Whitman
An empath by nature, I bring authenticity, transparency, enthusiasm, humor, openness, respect, and compassion to the therapeutic relationship I have with my clients. My relationship with each client is unique because it is created through meaningful and connecting shared therapeutic interactions which serve as a guide for our work together.
Therapy belongs to my client, this is their journey, and I am honored to walk alongside them part of the way .
I help guide my clients to identify their authentic-self, which is sometimes lost or unknown due to the roles and expectations imposed on them by others throughout their lives. We work on rewriting the old/habitual narratives they have been telling themselves and create a new narrative rooted in strength, confidence, compassion, empowerment, and love. I provide supportive and practical feedback and provide the tools necessary for them navigate life's challenges, access a calm state within, and experience a life aligned with their hearts and purpose.
Couples therapy is a strong passion of mine. I honor each unique relationship dynamic and strive to ensure that I support couples with creating the relationship they desire. Each couple gets to determine what works for them. I create a safe environment where couples can feel safe to share and explore. When two people care enough about themselves and their relationship to begin couples therapy, I honor their commitment and dedication and together we create a therapeutic plan that is based on their specific needs.
While I have many tools for couples, my main objective is for each couple to feel supported in the ways that they value most, and therefore tailor their sessions to meet those needs.
I believe that we all have unlimited potential and get to exist as the full expression of who we truly are. I hold workshops and groups where I support organizations as well as couples and individuals.
While I am committed to supporting clients with creating healthy and loving relationships, sometimes relationships have hardships and sometimes couples decide to part ways. I have written two self-help workbooks/journals for those times:
1. Healing from Infidelity: A Guided Journal: Prompts and Practices to Help You Recover and Move Forward (August 23, 2022)
2. After the Breakup: A Self-Love Workbook: A Compassionate Roadmap to Getting Over Your Ex (January 10, 2023)
