Hi all and congratulations on taking the courageous step toward healing. I am a dedicated trauma therapist with a specialized focus on attachment wounds, complex relational trauma, and processing family dynamics across the lifespan. My person-centered approach allows us to delve into deep-seated patterns that often underpin trauma responses and impact self-worth and the ability to maintain healthy relationships. I believe that trauma and life stressors affect both the brain and body. For deep healing to occur, we must first connect with ourselves, develop positive coping skills, and attune to our nervous system.

From an early age I have had a passion for helping others in an impactful way. I aspire and dedicate my time working with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, family discord, personality disorders and ADHD. Therapy can be scary and in many communities, still very stigmatized. I aid in assisting individuals who make a brave decision to seek out therapy for self or close loved ones, in order to live the best life possible.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to bet at least 51% on themselves and their healing journey. You don't have to have everything together or pretend as if you do. Heck, we'll spend at least two sessions diving past that and exploring the root of whichever topic brings you to counseling. With me as your therapist, I want you as you are, with a bit of hope that we can make it through this obstacle!

I empathize for today's teens & adults struggling in this ever-changing world. We are faced with immediate decision-making & strain, which is not fair when we're trying to figure who we are, much less what we want to become as adults. We typically feel lost, confused, and misunderstood when communicating to others our needs and even interests, therefore struggle asking for help and support in and outside our homes, schools, and community. Whereas this seems to be a "young person's issue," many of us adults battle these situations as well, struggling with hopelessness and believing we are alone as a result.

Many clts often present with problems they have been suppressing in so many different ways. At Healing Touch Services I offer an approach called OARS/MI. This approach allows active listening so the clt knows they are in a safe, peaceful, non-judgmental space. My therapy provides positive programs developed by the clt with the therapist helping guide you through by using coping skills that are suitable for your need. When people know they are being heard and helped, yet being empowered to make their own healthy decisions, it presents a sense of self-respect and dignity to let you reclaim your value and worth. We Never Give Up on You

Click in website link to schedule an intake. I truly get it and understand how real- life demands can create barriers to getting help. Maybe, for various reasons the things you have tried haven't fully worked. Of things that can impact our mental health, the impact of trauma is by far one of the things that can interfere with our ability to move with ease in life and can impact so many areas of our life. Sometimes feeling emotionally overwhelmed, shut down or on overdrive, trauma can leave us blocked from our full potential leaving us depressed, anxious, frustrated and stuck.
