My Mission

My practice, Wholistic Healing, promotes intentional growth and healing for adults 18 years and older. Working from a relational approach, my style is decidedly warm and supportive, empathic and transparent, and playful at key moments yet exceedingly professional throughout our work together. I work directly with underlying root problems to promote lasting healing.

Hope guides my work.

Let’s work together to bring about more mindful, dynamic and lasting changes to your life.

Creating a warm and non-judgmental space where we build trust is essential in my work. I welcome diversity in a respectful stance as we co-create a theraputic relatioship where oyu are the expert on you and I bring my clinical expertices so that healing in connection brings lasting neruobiolocal changes. I foster a creative and compassionate stance when addressing the challenges with which each client struggles. Recognizing that each person offers a cross-cultural experience and that trust takes time to develop, I am committed to the process of earning client's trust. Difficulties are celebrated as opportunities for growth and development in the healing process. Because a therapeutic relationship is so personal and intimate I guarantee that our working relationship will be rooted in confidentiality, privacy, and integrity.

When our minds are calm and centered, we can begin to study historic patterns with curiosity so that we can begin to creatively engineer new ones. This work is collaborative and embraces hope and healing for our future as we work in the here and now. In doing so, the past informs, but does not define us.  

I have helped clients feel supported through transitions in life, develop new capacities to overcome chronic pain and health difficulties, worked with them to create strategies for reducing and managing anxiety and depression and honored losses in their lives. I have extensive knowledge and training with more than 13 years of experience working with survivors of trauma of all ages.

Healing is possible.

I help clients honor their inner wisdom, the intelligence of the mind-body connection, and their hope for conscious growth after unspeakable loss.  

Whether you're hoping to find your voice, recover from a painful relationship, develop your sense of self, intentionally seek support during a private struggle, or foster a sense of normalcy after the disruptive nature of trauma, I can help.

While I believe that each journey of healing is unique, research has found psychotherapy to be one of the most cost-effective forms of growth. I like to think of therapy as an investment in your future. 

Transformation is possible. 

Taking the first step can often be the most challenging. From a place of respect for your healing and your desire to some changes, choose to reach out to get the support you deserve. Give yourself the opportunity for lasting change.

I am here to help. 

Here's how...

My Philosophy

Authenticity & Integrity     

Competence & Compassion

Curiosity & Humor

Empathy & Respect   

Gratitude & Hope

Kindness… always

These are the cornerstones of my practice.

  • Emotional safety is central for healing

  • Growth is a choice

  • Choices empower us

  • The mind body connection is an alive and dynamic relationship

  • We are relational beings, therefore healthy relationships are essential to our healing process, even when relationships are the exact place we have been hurt

  • Truth telling is a brave and courageous process

  • Curiosity

  • I celebrate human dignity and diversity

Finally I strongly adhere to the Hakomi principles which include these five tenets:

Mindfulness, Nonviolence, Unity, Organicity, & Mind-Body Integration

My trauma training has been heavily influenced and informed by the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. I have embraced these Hakomi values as the the foundation to my clinical work. To read more, please click here.
