My goal is to help individuals and couples learn how to consciously take care of themselves and connect in relationships from a grounded place of integrity.
I work relationally, using the philosophy of Relational Life Therapy (RLT) created by Terry Real. I see the benefits of understanding the parts of us that want to connect and those parts that protect ourselves from being hurt or disappointed in some way. I am comfortable helping people learn new tools to connect from a more grounded and kind place.
I am a trauma-informed therapist, understanding the multi-generational impacts of trauma on individuals and significant relationships throughout one’s life. When appropriate I help clients link how earlier life experiences may affect life in adulthood to help support positive change.
I am trained in Ketamine therapy and provide therapy sessions with sublingual Ketamine when beneficial to the growing and healing process. I am interested in helping clients with psychedelic integration by creating continued safe space and presence for them to emotionally, mentally, physically and often spiritually transition back into daily life with a healthy support community intact.
When beneficial, I incorporate mindfulness practices into sessions or I suggest some mindfulness tools for clients to use in their daily lives.
I am a relational psychologist with nearly 15 years of experience helping clients address relational issues and assisting clients through life transitions, one of which include changing relationship dynamics, traditional or alternative. I am also experienced working with job-related issues and grief and loss. I feel very connected to helping clients heal their self worth.
From my extensive experience working closely with my clients, I see that many people need better tools to replace the unconscious, unhelpful feelings, beliefs, and behaviors created from our past experiences.
As human beings, we’re interconnected and ultimately want to have healthy and enjoyable relationships with friends, family, and other significant relationships in our lives. Sometimes we could just use a little help connecting with ourselves and others from a place of awareness and care. That’s what I’m here for.
I am informed and continue to educate myself on the evolving science of psychedelics in conjunction with ‘talk’ therapy to help heal past traumas and experiences of depression, anxiety, and many other pains we may move through at some point in life.
