                                       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.
