My Ideal Client

You have spent a lifetime using logic, perfectionism, and meticulous control to keep yourself safe. Driven by a quiet, deep-seated fear of being abandoned or "not enough," your brilliant mind became a hyper-vigilant shield. But carrying the weight of the world is exhausting. Right now, you might find yourself trapped in a painful loop: relentless overthinking and rumination slip into chronic worry, and that anxious tension eventually collapses into a heavy, lonely melancholy.

My Approach to Helping

I'm very familiar with this pattern. Youu cannot think your way out of an overactive mind. It is safe to soften now. I provide a deeply compassionate, grounded sanctuary where your hyper-vigilant shields can finally drop. Together, we will gently dismantle the rigid rules of perfectionism and transform your anxious need for control into a beautiful, soulful trust. You don’t have to perform, fix, or micromanage to be worthy of love. Let’s help you step out of the mental prison of what should be, and surrender into the peaceful, healing flow of who you truly are. I use a wide variety of interventions and tools along with psychoeducation to tailor each individual client's needs and meet you where you're at.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we all hold wonderful gifts. Often times they are the ones that have been passed down throughout our lineage; at first disguised as trauma-response. As we begin to heal, we get the opportunity to peel back the layers and reclaim ourselves as whole, worthy, and complete through the alchemical process of being open to transformation. My learning in the field of therapy has not only been in the classroom and gaining hours to complete my licensures. I too have been on a process of transformaiton. To me, this is vitally important when working with clients as I know the vulnerability it takes to entrust someone with the deepest core of ourselves. Remember, it is a privilege to hear your story! I'm inspired and passionate about working with creativity as well as trauma-informed approaches to the theraputic process. I'm also trained in energy pscyhology, energy work, and astrology specializing in medical astrology. Working with Jungian philosophies such as symbolic intelligence!

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Spirituality External link

    I believe we are spiritual beings have a human experience. If we leave out other dimensions of your reality in session work we are limited from seeing the whole picture. I have a personal journey with coming to specialize in Spirituality. I grew up in a Catholic family, and after the death of an immediate family member, the beliefs went heavy into new age spiritualism. Along the way I pushed back on it all to find my own beliefs. Feeling they left out the whole picture; I became a student.
