About

I believe that you can find your life purpose and live your life to your fullest and I am here to support you in that process. I have an integrative approach to therapy since I see the person as an interconnection between mind and body.

I have been working in the behavioral health field for over 15 years. I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Facilitator, Approved Consultant and Certified Therapist. I specialize in working with trauma (adverse life experiences, sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse) and other mental illness such as: Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, etc. I also specialize in helping clients with impulsivity, anger problems, self-esteem issues as well as domestic violence and addictions that relate to trauma. I am trained in how to work with complex PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) clients.

I love working with adults of all races and ethnicities, gender, and sexual orientation, in helping them have successful lives and relationships, and improve their self-esteem and confidence. We will work on targeting the core of your current symptoms to help you bypass them.

We will do this by utilizing evidenced-based practices: EMDR and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). EMDR will help you with trauma processing by reprocessing the memories that contribute to symptoms and by enhancing adaptive memory networks and resources. Will let go of what doesn’t serve you so you have space for new. Also, will teach how to reframe your thoughts, how to regulate your mood better, improve relationships and manage your stress (DBT). I am a Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher so I will use some yoga sets and meditations that will enhance your healing if I believe this is required. These mindfulness practices will help you manage stress better, increase the relaxation response, help strengthening your nervous system as well as enhancing resiliency and neuroplasticity in the brain. It will also assist you with being more present and connected in the world.
