Over the years I have found successful results when treating: anxiety, depression and mood disorders, substance use and addictions, identity and personality disorders, eating disorders, sexual identity and sexual orientation issues, PTSD, adolescence issues and middle life crisis, grief and loss, co-dependency, couple's conflicts and parenting challenges.
Based on the belief that: "we all have our own answers", I focus my efforts to provide a professional, non judgmental and non critical space, where people can safely engage in a process of self reflection and discovery through which they can increase their self awareness, and learn how to access their own answers and solutions to a wide range of mental health concerns and challenging life situations.

Our team has experience working with a variety of issues related to their sexuality, including painful sex, lack of desire, and recovering after sexual trauma.
At Allura, we know and understand that sexuality is one of the most fun but complicated parts of humanity, while also one of the hardest to find a safe and non-judgmental space to speak openly about. Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about your sexuality, sex life, or relationship? Do you wish for more connection and excitement with your partner? Do you sometimes feel stress or anxiety fill your life? We can help with that. Our clients are professionals, parents, sometimes monogamous and sometimes polyamorous, LGBTQ+ - but they all share one thing in common: they are struggling with their sexuality in some way.

I offer: 1) talk therapy where we look at your present day and history looking at patterns, 2) deeper self understanding through discovering your many parts of self that for example could be in conflict with each other or stuck in the past, 3) and EMDR, which is used to heal from trauma and stuck emotions that were too overwhelming to process in the moment.
From a young age, I have loved listening to people's stories and being a supportive person helping others explore their inner world. I commonly work with folks who are wanting help with anxiety, perfectionism, their inner critic, feeling lost, chronically feeling low mood, having difficulty with their friendships and romantic partnerships, coping as best as they can after traumatic experiences and wanting additional support from a professional, and overall just folks who want to understand themselves better.

Come as you are. I am devoted to creating a safe and supportive atmosphere. Whether you come with overwhelming anxiety, depression, unworthiness, a history of abuse, trauma, disordered eating or want to work on improving unhealthy thought patterns - all is welcome. Expressive Arts Therapy is a non-invasive nourishment focused approach to therapy that uses direct experience through art making to tap into the senses in order to explore thoughts, patterns, and belief systems. No prior technical skill is necessary. I understand my immense responsibility not only as a space-holder but also as a witness to your vulnerability.

I customize my approach to suit each individual, and it will always remain trauma-informed, compassionate, and inclusive.
Do you find yourself feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious? Longing for a sense of peace, calm, and hope? Life can be challenging, and if we don’t have the tools to cope- some moments it can feel downright impossible. Sometimes we need actions to take, and sometimes we just need someone to truly listen. As a therapist, I consider myself not only an educator and guide, but a fellow human being here to support you where you’re at.
