I utilize an eclectic approach that tailors to the individual needs of the client.
Life is definitely a journey filled with emotions that takes us down different paths. At times, the pathways are filled with light, and on the contrary can be filled with darkness. It is during troubled times that we may experience all kinds of emotions that we may not understand. Although the journey for everyone may be different, our experiences stem from similar scenarios.

I specialize in trauma, narcissistic abuse, and grief. My focus is on healing the mother wound. Are you tired of emotional pain that won’t go away? Maybe you are exhausted of hoping to have a mother/daughter relationship, only to face disappointment again. You don't have to be trapped! If you don’t change, nothing will change. Supporting you in your change process is what I do. You cannot make anyone love you, but you can love yourself. Let's work on doing hard things together. As a post-trauma thriver and 15 years of no contact, I recognize the importance of being heard and understood while doing the grief work to heal.

Considering myself as an increasingly eclectic practitioner, I work with clients to find the best fit for them in reference to solution.
While I've worked with clients across a broad spectrum of needs and therapeutic goals I have most often found a fit with clients seeking change in their lives in the context of a collaborative relationship in therapy. I emphasize the importance of purpose in a person's life to provide motivation for practical change, leveraging both the internal resources someone already possesses and the potential to develop much more. I want to focus with a client on lifestyle and attention to the wisdom that resides in the mind, body, and spirit as a part of the immense human capacity to grow and change.
