Do you or someone you love have cancer? This isn't the life you planned for. Every priority you had changed in an instant. Perhaps you are feeling a flood of shock, sadness, fear, anger, confusion, anxiety, and depression. It is hard to talk with friends and family members. Many just don't understand what you're going through. You feel you need to be strong all the time - to guard everyone from how you really feel. You don't know what to do. Sadly, friends drift away. Scans, biopsies, labs, and treatments are relentless, and you fear it may come back one day.

I feel and experience the best approach to healing is to heal mind and body as ONE. I am a somatic trained Trauma therapist. Trauma causes an overcharged nervous system, regulated by the mind and directed by the brain. When we work you will discharge traumatic experiences then the body can self-regulate to a reorganized state of aliveness. The brain rewires and the mind can let go of the attachment to pain and trauma. Focusing on goals and applying scientific approaches to mind/body trauma releases CORE traumatic injuries. IMAGINE change today.

I specialize in working with women and girls (kids and teens) because there is nothing more fulfilling than seeing healing take place in a woman or girl’s heart. Whether I am working with a woman crushed by years of trauma, or a seemingly out-of-control teenage girl, or a child suffering from sadness or anxiety, I find such joy in creating sacred space to do meaningful work. I find this work even more rich and effective when I’m able to integrate your spiritual paradigm.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired I can assist with tools to help you alleviate some of these symptoms. Many times we feel so overwhelmed that we do not have or find the strength to cope. We struggle to find solutions to either manage our daily life or a major life event, and we feel that our world just crumbles. Sometimes we have family issues, struggle with boundaries, communication, and find no direction or drive to change our lives. If any of these issues sound familiar, I can help you find balance so that you can live life in a healthy and harmonious way.

As a therapist, I believe that people start to heal the moment that they are heard. I believe the human heart deserves more kindness and much less judgment. I love working with children, teens, and the young adult crowd. Some of my favorite issues to unpack include social-emotional learning, self-esteem, anxiety, trauma & childhood emotional neglect. If that sounds like you or your child, let’s have a coffee (or a caprisun) and chat!

Healing begins when you allow yourself to stop suffering. As Helen Keller stated, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it". Your journey begins when you identify the emotions causing you to feel your life is out of control. The process of healing starts by recognizing and removing layers of false beliefs and negative thoughts. Understanding where those beliefs and thoughts come from will allow you to gain strength and courage to overcome the challenges and obstacles you face throughout your life. It is then you will experience inner peace with a healing mind.

My understanding of how overwhelming therapy can be for some, and my empathy and listening skills can help put my clients at ease. I utilize a collaborative approach as you are the best expert on you! Sessions are a warm and trusted place to be. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and often seek training in other modalities. My therapeutic orientations are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray. I've also been trained in EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Prepare and Enrich (a premarital and marriage assessment), so I know how to do these things, too.

Do you have feelings of hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, maybe you're unmotivated, or need assistance with identifying healthy coping skills? Is your goal to get that joy back in your life. Life isn't always beautiful and perfect, often times its challenging, frustrating, and confusing. I help my clients acknowledge and experience those unwanted feelings. The idea is to experience them but not to live in them.

I always look forward to the invitation of being a part of someone's healing journey. As the passenger on the trip I may ask the individual to notice parts of the scenery they may be missing, or perhaps navigate them through some difficult terrain. In general the client will be in charge as the driver, they set the pace, direction and I am honored to be a part of the special trip.
