                                       ABOUT ME

  With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals heal from anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work-related stress, and more. My approach emphasizes behavioral change, understanding, and skill-building to foster personal growth and lasting independence. I am certified in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Alcohol/Substance Misuse Counseling, combining evidence-based methods with holistic healing philosophies. My style is relaxed and direct, focusing on what’s most needed in each session, supplemented by personalized homework assignments for deeper progress.

Mind-Body Connection: Understanding Your Emotions and Thoughts

I help clients explore the powerful connection between the mind and body to better understand their emotions and thoughts. Through education and practical tools, you’ll develop greater emotional awareness and control.

What this means for you:

  • Learn techniques to calm your nervous system during stress or anxiety.

  • Discover how physical habits, such as breathing and posture, impact emotional well-being.

  • Gain deeper insight into emotional triggers and patterns.

Holistic Healing: Integrating Psychology and Spirituality

I blend psychological principles with spiritual philosophies for a holistic healing experience. This approach can deepen your understanding of yourself and enhance the healing process.

 

Key tools I offer include:

  • Emotional regulation techniques to manage overwhelming emotions.

  • Reprogramming negative thinking to break free from limiting beliefs.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) meditation for self-exploration and inner balance.

  • Energy healing practices to restore harmony and reduce emotional blockages.

  • Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as an option for those seeking alternative therapeutic methods.

I offer personalized therapy plans that cater to your specific needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Here are a few ways I can support your healing:

  • Reduce anxiety and stress with tailored coping strategies and mindfulness exercises.

  • Overcome depression by addressing root causes and building a support network.

  • Improve relationship dynamics by enhancing communication, trust, and emotional awareness.

  • Address work-related stress with techniques to manage pressure and prevent burnout.
