Our Services
Individual Counseling
So many may not understand the energy our bodies carry. With a holistic approach, we look at what works for you. There is not one treatment of choice for your healing. We focus on individual goals with an authentic relationship with your therapist. There is no easy mend to difficult life situations, but there is a way to merge with the inner strength of your body and find a change with the help of your natural energy. In providing authentic therapy options, you can find your authentic self again or, for many, the first time. The journey may have some bumps in the road, but it will lead to less stress and a more manageable and even joyful life.
Therapy for Children and Teens
One of our greatest passions as a therapist is utilizing my experience in the medical field. We have worked with adults and children of all ages. My experience with children and adolescents includes; creating therapeutic programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, social and emotional disorders, and mild to profound developmental disabilities. While these require a more intense and global approach, individual authentic counseling allows children and teens to feel more connected in our ever-changing world.
While some of the most challenging work is in the pediatric medical field for children with chronic conditions and commodities, we do not sway from a holistic approach for the entire family. Everyone in the family unit must have support and a soft place to land as we walk the path together.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Awareness plays a big role in how we process the ideas, emotions, and encounters we face daily. Have you ever questioned your awareness of pain, or confronted your supposed shortcomings and fears to find if they truly exist?……
MBSR walks you through an exploration and understanding of self, your deepest feelings, fears and desires through mindful awareness. As you turn your focus toward living in the present, you participate in life more fully as it happens, experiencing each joy and pain, and everything around you. Through MBSR, you will value the mystery and magic of the miracle of being alive. It is easy to ignore what’s happening around us as we hope for “better" moments in the future. As you prepare to witness what really happens in your life at the present moment, you’ll gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of your sense of self.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach guided by the adaptive information processing (AIP) model, that explains how trauma is stored……
in the brain's neural network. Trauma can be encoded deep within our body and mind and previously unprocessed trauma and memories can manifest as dysfunctional traits, behaviors and beliefs that result in anxiety, stress, and negative self-talk that prevent you from fully enjoying life. The eye movements used in EMDR help unlock the system and allow the brain to process the unconscious material. Through EMDR you can tackle unprocessed traumatic past and negative beliefs by opening new channels and accelerating new experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
As the most commonly used therapy today, CBT helps to change your thought processing. This therapy uses a specific formula to challenge your thoughts and create different outcomes in your behaviors and feelings.
Narrative Therapy
This psychotherapy approach uses storytelling to separate the patient from their problems. The stories can help to shape identity, and allow you to redefine and reclaim your story, using your own skills.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
As a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT combines mindfulness with the formulas of CBT to help create different outcomes in your behaviors and feelings. It’s best for substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and mood disorders.
Virtual Therapy
In times of hardship when meeting in person may not be an option, virtual therapy can be a great alternative. Held over secure HIPPA compliant platform, we’ll follow the same format as in-office visits. I provide a complimentary 15 minute virtual consultation to help you decide if therapy is a good fit for you.
