Personal Statement
I help people heal from trauma and ex-cult experiences. I see veterans through The Headstrong Project. In addition, I offer coaching and counseling support for those who utilize psychedelic medicine for healing. I am certified as a Psychedelic specialist via Psychedelic Today's Vital progam. Whether you are considering a journey or need to process a past "bad trip", I can help you get the most out of your journey. I do not provide substances for this work.
My wellness-focused approach is best suited for those who are ready to engage in deeper work. Developing increased self-compassion, radical acceptance and understanding about how we use self-blame to survive can help you move beyond the effects of trauma. Are you ready to commit your time, energy and resources to your well-being? You are worth this investment!
I care about "what happened to you" and I strive to provide a supportive space for you to share your concerns. Effective work can result in your improved ability to function and to pursue your best life. I offer acceptance without judgment, practical tools, constructive education and a conviction that you are capable! I have facilitated healing in many settings: military and civilian substance abuse treatment (adults and teens), in-home therapy, crisis center, inpatient trauma treatment, outpatient group treatment and private practice.
For over 25 years experience I have been helping others find self-compassion and joy for life. I am fully trained to use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), SoulCollage®, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Work, Somatic Awareness Exercises and many more modalities. All these tools are important and useful, but what is most important is the therapeutic relationship that develops.
