I love helping people! I love witnessing the transformation and seeing the sparkle in their eyes return or intensify. Life is an experience that is full of unplanned, unexpected events that can be difficult to deal with- but it is all surmountable! I truly believe that once we are able to clear away some of the ego, our inner voice/higher self can be heard and that is when incredible shifts in life begin! Shifts that lead to our best selves!
I am licensed clinical social worker who has received extensive training in many trauma focused modalities such CPT, CBT, EMDR and PE. I also am a Certified Heart Centered Hypnotherapist and blown away with its capacity to transform lives. I am trained to work with children, teenagers, couples and groups.
"No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There's only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to do it..." Lori Deschene. CONGRATULATE YOURSELF FOR TAKING THAT STEP!!
