Clinical Therapy

Starting the journey alone can be scary, I know, I’ve sat alone on the “therapy couch.” I promise to sit with you in your experience and move at your pace, creating safety and therapeutic connection along the way. I work with individuals ages 10 and older on various life challenges. My main goal is to help you figure out how to reconnect with your authentic self and co create the life you envision living. Let’s create a path of authentic health and wellness together and help you move in a direction that inspires you to live your best life. The journey is not always easy but it’s so worth it. Life is too short to live it disconnected, dissociated, angry, anxious or unhappy. You deserve to live the life you envision, able to navigate the ebbs and flows of the journey with greater ease and enjoyment. Life is really precious and sacred, let me help you reconnect to it! I can help using a variety of therapeutic modalities, allowing you to explore the past, reprocess and reprogram your system (cognitive and somatic), and release what holds you back from stepping into your truth and essence- ACT and CBT, Mindfulness and Meditation, Parts, EMDR, Nidra, Narrative, Grounding and Regulation practices, Psychoeducation, and Ketamine are a few of the tools I can use on your healing journey! 

Intimate partnerships or sacred unions as I like to call them are incredibly powerful, and can be incredibly hurtful when we approach them unconsciously, without awareness, and with our own trauma and hurt. I absolutely love helping couples come back into intimate connection and create an incredible partnership. We do this by opening our hearts to genuine love, increasing our understanding of our partners, releasing judgment and increasing compassion, and learning the relational skills we need in order to co create authentic connection. Let’s explore healthy, authentic, powerful communication and learn beautiful practices to enhance connection and intimacy. I often tell couples we are learning a new language! Your relationship deserves to be a place of safety and a source of growth and healing! As a trained Relational Life Therapist I can help! 

I know trauma, both personally and professionally. Trauma definitely needs space for processing and healing. Some people have transformed their trauma into post traumatic growth- it no longer triggers and activates in the present moment, hijacking the system and triggering reactive inauthentic responses. The trauma is healed and the lessons, strengths and lessons are used in our own journey and for the service of community. For others trauma continues to live in the present moment, highjacking their  joy and creating more pain than we deserve. Let me help. I have a Masters degree focused in crisis and trauma. I’ve worked in residential trauma care. I’ve walked the journey of healing myself. Let me teach you about trauma and the nervous system so you understand your wounds better. Let me hold sacred space for you as you journey within to heal those wounds. Let me teach you how to turn toward the pain, gently, slowly, vs away from it, so you can hold space for it and finally release it. The longer we run from it the longer we are haunted by it. Trauma is wounding, it hurts, and it can also be a powerful teacher, the crack that can show us just how incredible we are. 

We have finally arrived at a place in time that affords us the opportunity to use this

powerful medicine on our healing journey. We have beautiful research that supports the use of psychedelics on the journey of healing that other modalities struggle to match. We know the subconscious mind is a powerful “player” in the creation of our reality, and we also know it’s hard to access. This creates unique challenges when we’re looking at healing and changing, and can take years of “work.” Psychedelics help us explore the subconscious, allowing us access to see and release the wounds that keep us stuck in replaying, reliving and recreating the past. These medicines also help us greatly with neuroplasticity, which means it’s easier to “fire and wire” the work you are trying to do; they create an opening that makes transformation just a little easier- helping us get unstuck! There are many ways to use psychedelics, and we can start the journey slowly and gently to allow the system time to orient to this healing modality. Don’t let fear stop you from exploring this powerful medicine. This is one of my favorite modalities! 

This is another area I’m passionate about. As a mom of 2 little minions I know how incredible the parenting journey is- both incredibly rewarding and incredibly challenging. As a Certified Parent Educator in the Positive Discipline parenting model, I can help you understand your child a little better and help you process through the areas of struggle. Let‘s create a plan for parenting through the challenges that allows you to build a better relationship with your kiddos. We as parents set the culture in our homes, let me help you create a culture of respect, love and connection.
