I am currently taking new clients for adults and youth. I have been providing therapy for over a decade, and work comfortably as a collaborative partner in one's personal growth. Therapeutic goals and style are curated based on individuals needs and preference, that interweave mind, body, and spirit. The client/therapist relationship is always at the center of my work to assure a safe place to explore vulnerable areas in life with close stable support. Individuals that work with me often develop a broader and long-lasting sense of self, empowerment, skillfulness in mood mgmt. and capability maintaining ease in their life.

Alive Holistic Counseling is an integrative counseling clinic that uses client-centered, strengths-based therapies to help people achieve their personal goals and cultivate authenticity in their relationships. Our therapists are specially trained in holistic therapies such as EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and Hakomi that enable clients to go deeper into their healing journey. Our focus on evidence-based approaches that integrate the body with the busy mind allow for work to go beyond what keeps us trapped in old patterns of being.

Creating a safe space for individuals to thrive, grow, and find courage to tell their story, is what I believe my role to be as a counselor. Often times we run from our pain and avoid facing what has been hurting us all these years. It is my belief that counseling provides a neutral and compassionate environment to process through this pain, and finally discover the relief we have been looking for. My hope as your counselor is to help you develop a deeper awareness and personal insight so that you may live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Pursuing a better self is a challenging journey. At times, you can feel lost and unsure how to break yourself out of the never-ending cycle. Do you often feel weighed down by challenging life situations, relationship difficulties, mental health, or stress? I can help you work on strategies and inner resources that will allow you to address the root cause of your difficulties and find healing.

Clients report that they experience a safe and attuned space to show up authentically, without the worry of judgment, so they can explore important circumstances that are bringing challenges. Everstronger is a term that invites leaning a bit more towards the parts of us that have been pained, stuck, muted, or are stirring to find expression and relief in new ways.
